In my experience closed issues are usually closed with an associated PR and the issue it fixes gets merged into main/master.

I've never actually seen a project only close issues when they make a release. Rather they make a new release when there are enough resolved issues or new feature PRs. Though of course they can do whatever they want. There are a lot of projects where it is known that the latest git main should be used and the latest actual binary release is from years ago.

I keep issues open until a release resolves them for all my open source projects. It helps to prevent duplicates, helps me maintain good release notes, and ensures the open issue list is a more honest description of the software you get when you fetch it via your package manager.
