There is still one application. There's a single process which is the
master; all the other processes die if the master dies. Chrome's
isolation of tab-groups has nothing to do with the GUI design question
of whether one top-level window is allowed to do more than one thing,
which you claimed it should not.

No, that would not be what it would be called. Also, a notebook is a
very specific widget, and it's not quite identical to Chrome's or
Firefox's tabbed browsing setup; but again, that has nothing to do
with the case. The question is one of UI design.
