The reason is that typical programs started from a terminal are part of the "process group' that the program belongs to. Process groups determine the controlling terminal and inherited from the parent process. What you are asking about is the reason that part of the sequence of creating a server is to call setsid (man 2 setsid).

Dunno, but can't you just ALT-F1 to a tty and start the process, then
ALT-F7 back and kill your X?
There may be some way to do what you want, but it seems to me that when
you kill the X terminal you're going to kill all of the child processes
with it, foreground or not.
