Where is it written? And if so, why do the most Apple applications that use multi-window setup do not behave as such, like Safari, TextEdit, Xcode, and many others?
It only makes sense to close the application immediately when the red button is pressed if the application is designed for a single window, or if it's not a document based app. Like the Calculator.app.
Keeping the application running when all windows are closed has huge performance benefits, allows opening another window much faster, and arguably one of the best aspects of macOS.
