And why can't you ever 'close' Finder? One can only hide it.

Why can't you close Windows Explorer?

You can. explorer.exe may still be running as a process, but visually its presence can be eliminated from the GUI.

Which sounds just like the Finder?

Except I get a new window when I click on the Explorer icon. So no, it's the opposite of Finder's fail-silent behavior.

When I click the Finder icon in my dock, or open it with Alfred, I get a new Finder window. Doesn't appear to be a configurable setting. Not sure what's wrong with your setup.
