Because there is absolutely no way for PHP to know that the user has
closed the browser window.  Nothing is sent from the browser to the server
on a window close.  By using session cookies (cookies without a specified
expiry time) the session is effectively ended since the cookie is gone
once the browser has been completely shut down (not just a window).  When
that user comes back to the site after starting their browser again they
will get a new session.
