To be fair, some Mac apps do too. For some apps, it just makes sense. For some 
it does not. What always got me about the Windows way was the fact that many 
apps open as a window within which other windows open. So if you want to close 
the inner window when it is maximized, you have to be careful which X you click 
because you might actually quit the whole app! 

The idea of a window within a window I have always thought was an odd thing 
with no real correlation to a real world analog, especially when closing all 
the inner windows exposes a grey "wall" through which nothing can be seen. How 
is that a window?
