Storing stuff on disk that should be kept purely in-memory is a Mac thing?

Being able to pull the plug/battery on a computer and then having the restored state be exactly the same is a Mac thing, yeah.

In this particular case though it should not do so. Users do expect the private tabs to disappear after the window closes, no matter how it is closed.

I am not sure reopening private windows is a good idea, either, but Mac OS removed the rule "quitting an application closes its windows".
Given that, it is logical that it reopens private windows, just as, for example, TextEdit or Numbers reopen windows with content you never explicitly saved (even across reboots)
