So then close the app, not the window. There’s plenty of times where being able to close all windows and start from scratch makes sense. So much so that there are all sort of apps when you close the last window that default to presenting a new window where you can open another document/project, start a new one or do some other tasks. (Think any app with a start/splash page). Why not just have the ability to choose your new task from the menu and skip the splash page entirely?

Close it how? I just closed the window. What's the handle, then? Do I have to open it again to go to some menu (or a shortcut) to close it? This is completely unintuitive, unless you are a long term mac user. Neither windows nor any of the hundreds of linux window managers work so unexpectedly.

  When you close a window the active application doesn’t change so the menubar attached to the top of the screen is still there to close the app if desired (and keyboard shortcuts will still target that application).
