I think in the Discord model it makes more sense because it's based off of how online gamers flow (basically open a voice chat and stay on there for hours on end).

It's still outside the norm on Windows I would say, even though I understand why they did it.

Gamers obviously don't talk only when they open discord. They talks in 'game' with discord minimized. It would be dumb if hide discord to background while keep chatting is a manual action by default. But that behaviour can be changed. You can ask discord to exit the app when you click x if you prefer. There is an option for it.

And about teams... who the heck want to be kept in a meeting if they are already ready to close the app?

They are just different mindset.
