On Linux it just sticks around as a ghost until it's closed. Less noticeable but frustrating in its own way.
Allows the very important 'overwrite files while they're open' functionality used during update. Write all the new files for a service then restart it. No need to reboot the whole machine for that.
Looking at you, Windows, and your bullshit scheduled reboots.
