That confused me too at first. I expected clicking the dock icon for pgAdmin 4
v3 to open it the second-plus time just the same as it did the first time, but
it didn't.
But I soon discovered that the first launch added an icon to the main menu bar
in the top right section, and that is where you go to tell it to re-open a
window or to shutdown etc.
This then is like lots of other service-oriented programs like Postgresql.app or
Dropbox or many others.
Nevertheless, I believe the app icon in the Finder/Dock should do something
clearly visible to the user such as opening a window that says go to the service
icon in the menu bar.
