Windows 10: Exiting Office 2019 applications

I've never liked pressing Top Right-Hand Corner "x" to exit an application, much preferring Menu > File > Exit.
The second approach seems to me to ensure a managed closedown, while the first seems more of an emergency stop with much potential for loose ends.
Office 2010 allowed the former pathway in all the applications. As early as Office 2016 and into Office 2019, Menu > File allows only Close (documents) not Exit (the application) - the only way to exit the application is TRHC "x".
It "feels" horrible. Are the two Exit strategies equivalent? What happened to Menu > File > Exit, and why?

PS Only Outlook of all the applications allows my preferred pathway.

Spoiler Office 2019
Last year at Ignite, we announced Office 2019 – the next perpetual version of Office that includes apps (including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook, and Skype for Business) and servers (including Exchange, SharePoint, and Skype for Business). Today we’re pleased to share the following updates:

• Office 2019 will ship in H2 of 2018. Previews of the new apps and servers will start shipping in the second quarter of 2018.
• Office 2019 apps will be supported on:
  • Any supported Windows 10 SAC release
  • Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2018
  • The next LTSC release of Windows Server
• The Office 2019 client apps will be released with Click-to-Run installation technology only. We will not provide MSI as a deployment methodology for Office 2019 clients. We will continue to provide MSI for Office Server products.
