A post was split to a new topic: MacOS minimize on when you close last tab
I’d say is less of a way to “close the app” (this doesn’t actually close the app) and more of a way to make the application’s behavior consistent with what the user is expecting. This is pretty much the standard behavior for macOS, and it’s not intuitive when a single application in your stack behaves differently.

I think the expected would be that the “last tab” was indeed a tab, and if it was closed you’d get no tabs, and close again it would close the windows (exactly like VSCode).
Actually this isn’t correct. Some Mac apps will keep running, mainly ones where the app isn’t document-based…or that used to be the case. Generally though closing the last open window will cause an app to quit. This was in contrast to the usual Windows behavior. I believe that some apps now use a preference for this.
