Long running headless processes on windows generally still have an event loop and a window handle via which they process those messages.

...right...tell that to cmd.exe or the OpenVPN daemon, or the soft ether VPN daemon, or OpenConsole.exe, or Idk, I only tested 4 that immediately came to mind but my point stands. There are a lot of programs that do not have a window handle and do not bother with window messages.

Service (daemon) lifecycles are managed via the system services api.
