The point is for applications which revolve around a single window
(System Preferences, along with the iApps and so on), it makes no sense
to have the application open with the main window closed. For document
based apps, this is useful, sure, but not for iApps.

Whoa - here I am agreeing with Ondra about something again. Wow, weird.
Being able to close all of an app's windows without quitting the app
is a very useful feature indeed. Then, if you click the app's Dock
icon, it brings up a new window, without your having to wait for the
whole app to launch again. I'll bet there isn't a person on this list
who doesn't use this ability somewhere, and most commonly, I'll bet
you use it with your web browser - it's very convenient to leave it
running in the background and instantly get a new browser window when
you need one, by clicking on its icon. Can you imagine how annoying it
would be if this were Windows and you needed to wait for OmniWeb,
Mozilla, Chimera, or whatever browser to use to relaunch once you
closed all its windows? And although the effect is less dramatic, this
ability is also very useful for System Preferences, Terminal, Mail,
etc.
