Why does it make sense that an application must have windows to keep running?

Not doing that results in closing everything you can see easily in the GUI but it’s still burning RAM and being obnoxious where you can’t easily see it. If I wanted that to happen, I’d tell it to do that.
It's more intuitive for non-technical users, in my experience.
Is there even a pattern behind what gets downvoted here?
