The ability to split windows is an absolute essential; however, there
are times when I want to focus on one buffer in one window and hide
all of the other windows. But, I don't know of any show/hide feature
that hides all windows but the current window. As a workaround, I
resize all of the windows to give maximum space to the window I want
to see, but this then makes me resize all of the windows again when I
want to restore the windows.
So, by any chance, is this a feature that is already implemented and I
don't know of it?
Perhaps ZoomWin will do what you want...

Type ctrl-w o to toggle between maximizing one window and restoring
to all. By maximizing, I mean that the current
window will take over the entire display, not leaving a lot of status
bars around.
