After testing and thinking a bit, I think the answer is that it never was, unless you are in an environment like ipython. Certainly it hasn't been any time recently. A script run from the command line exits when it reaches the last line; if nothing blocks, then it will immediately close the window and exit. This is not backend-dependent or OS-dependent--it is just the way scripts work.
