>applications that can spawn multiple windows have a lifetime, again, completely and totally coupled to some "main" window.
Windows are, once again, not virtual terminals to work inside of. In most cases, they represent documents.
If you have 5 letters open, which one would be the “main”?
If you closed all 5 of them, but changed other things about program state, the more intuitive behavior will be to preserve those changes until the user explicitly exits the program. Even some windows programs try to emulate this behavior by creating a new, empty document when all documents are closed. This is both inelegant and inconsistent when you could have just kept the program running in the background, which is what macOS does.
