The problem with these tabs is that closing that window, the tab is gone forever (on both chromium and firefox).

It's also easy to lose track of which window they were in quite fast. A separate app is faster to find on almost any WM/OS.

Maybe I miss your meaning but on OS X/chrome: cmd-shift-T to reopen the last window with all tabs. Works even after a chrome restart. Saves me when 40 tabs open and I Cmd-Q for too long instead of Cmd-W.
Yes, I'm aware of this, but it pretty much means the pinned tab behaves like "any other tab". If I closed those 40 tabs, the pinned tab should move elsewhere or persist. Otherwise, I'll have to manually re-pin it all the time.
