recent update -- now zoom won't close unless terminated from task manager

[aj16]

I was recently forced to upgrade Zoom. Now I have Zoom workplace as my desktop application. When I close the window it just minimizes it. Same thing if I right click the icon and hit "close window". I checked the settings and I see an option for "When closed, minimize to the notification area instead of the task bar" This seems to imply to me that the default behavior is to minimize to the taskbar WHEN CLOSED. WHYYYYYYYYYY would you do this?!?!?!?!
