Why don't we close `System.out` Stream after using it?

Question

I just want to know, we usually close streams at the end, but why don\'t we close System.out PrintStream with System.out.close()?

Answer 1

because we didn't open it the VM did and it's his job to close it unless otherwise documented

it's similar to the C++ adage of I don't own it, don't delete it.
