Why do we need WaitForExit() when working with processes?

• ASP.NET Core

  1,632 34,267 9.9 C#

  ASP.NET Core is a cross-platform .NET framework for building modern cloud-based web applications on Windows, Mac, or Linux.

  

This might be a dumb question but I can't seem to get my head around it. I am starting a process from a ASP.NET Core controller and it works fine. I can also close the application from the same controller with no issues. What is the benefit of WaitForExit()? Do I not need WaitForExit() if I am closing the process programmatically when the controller endpoint is hit? (yes I am aware I would use WaitForExitAsync() since its asp dot net )
