We won't be adding this feature that you request, for multiple reasons, not the least of which is that it is a dumb idea. This suggestion would entail a major amount of engineering effort so that you can make an app say 'closed' instead of 'open' to do the exact same thing. There have been multiple suggestions of ways to do this already, both by staff and other users.
So this idea is a non-starter, and this topic has been thoroughly discussed. Time to move on...
