Seems insane, many apps keeps running with an icon visible in the notification area when exited like that. Discords icon also shows if you are in a voice channel.

It's not just that the application keeps running, but the active voice call you're in stays connected and everyone can still hear you. That is definitely counterintuitive, I would at least expect a popup saying "did you mean to close the call, this is just minimizing it to the background" or something.

Also, that's 1 of 5 issues.

It's not counterintuitive to anyone who has used a VoIP application in the past ten years.

Well one of Discord's main demographics (which they intentionally target) is kids, who often haven't used any other VoIP application outside of a phone.

Discord did not get this fine for this one point, but for the sum of all issues.

Yeah, but the fact that they got money from them for this "issue" is laughable.

They "didn't get money from them", the EU is not some sort of criminal operation.

They fined them based on violations reported by users and Discord can contest this in a court of law.

No, they got money from them for the other issues probably.
