No.
I'm suggesting that not only have they figured it out, but they find
it a useful concept and a convenient function.

The distinction between "close the window" and "quit the app" is
clear, and both are useful things to do, especially in the case of
apps that might use multiple windows to perform a task.

In a world with tabbed browsing and pop-up blockers, I do
not really see the utility of Quit in a web browser. And
my knowledge of other applications that could potientially
benefit from Quit (being different from Close) is very
limited... Could you please enlighten me?

I only see it causing pain for people expecting Close:
