"For robustness reasons" is a lot of BS.  Stupid broken apps should be
fixed, period.

I personally don't care about the Quit item.  In any case, an
application that does not remove itself from memory some time after you
close all its windows would be severely broken --- it may be all swapped
out, but you may not be able to run another big application until you
free up some VM.
