@Ismael to be precise, there were 3 xterms and 1 xclock, on my older systems closing the main term would return me back to tty. And no .xinitrc was present in my home folder, modifying /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc has observable effects so I am sure it is using that file. What made me surprised was that this happened when I was using all default configs. It seems that @Vladimir is right, this is the exact same thing happening here. I never thought this was caused by systemd, I think I will use a graphical DM until the new systemd patch. Thank you both for your time :)
