In most cases, applications that are not document-based

System Preferences quits if the user closes the window. If an
application continues to perform some function when the main
window is closed, however, it may be appropriate to leave it
running when the main window is closed. For example, iTunes
continues to play when the user closes the main window.

OK so your original gripe is vindicated, if not in the way you
suggested. Developers should follow guidelines. guidelines are not
rules, but that doesn't mean you are free to ignore them, any more than
the guidelines you see on the road.
