In fact that’s how it always worked. Apps that don’t work that way, including Apple’s, are “wrong”.

- yesb 11mo agoBoth behaviors have been common/"correct" as long as I remember. Single window apps such as System Preferences, Disk Utility, etc. don't meaningfully exist without their window and as such they quit when the window closes. Multi-window apps e.g. web browsers, word processors have the "usual" macOS behavior where they can remain running without a window open.
