Is NT broken?

Why is it that allocated memory is not released by NT?  I understand
that Microsoft does not guarantee memory released by a program will be
returned to the available pool until the program is terminated?  Or,
does that "feature" only apply to non-Microsoft applications that do not
use a secret API?  Or, do not identify themselves as a Microsoft
application?

Perhaps you know?
