Could I please ask why, what are the advantages of it? A lot of Mac apps quit after the last window closed, I am aware that some doesn't.

Assuming the application is considered document based as you can open multiple main windows it should not quit when closing the last window. Unfortunately I cannot find any longer this documented in the human interface guidelines for macOS.

It's not a document-based app and opening multiple main windows is a deliberate design decision I made as I didn't want Oliphaunt to be a shoebox app.
