If your app doesnβt respond to SIGTERM gracefully, you need to fix your app. The system did its job as documented.

Close correctly my ass, window's priority is to piss us off.
I've tried to turn a pc off to go to sleep, only to realize in the morning it's still on because some program refused to close.
Now when I see the prompt to force close, I just say yes.
The kernel giveth, the kernel taketh away
Except when you install ESET EFS.... may the guru save your source...
Fear will keep them in line
To the people complaining Windows has an aggressive method. Sure but I didn't know about it till now. Task manager didn't make it obvious to me and so I didn't know about it till now (and everyone keeps talking about commands and shutdowns so it doesn't even sound like you can do it through task manager). Linux's system manager did and I have known about it since first using Linux (about half a year ago now)
Linux gives processes a chance to gracefully close. However, it also will absolutely NOT allow a process to hang up the shutdown or restart procedure after a point. If you're using systemd (which there is a good chance you are), it'll count down. If the process hasn't stopped in the time allotted, it gets Old Yellered.
