Provide an option, say 'tab-bar-save-frame', that allows users to
customize whether a frame should be deleted when "other tabs are
available for that frame".  And provide a function, say
'tab-bar-save-frame-p', 'window--delete' could call thusly

    (let ((deletable (window-deletable-p window)))
      (cond
       ((eq deletable 'frame)
	(let ((frame (window-frame window)))
	  (cond
	   ((and (fboundp 'tab-bar-save-frame-p)
		 (tab-bar-save-frame-p frame kill))
	    nil)
	   (kill
	    (delete-frame frame))

thus avoiding to kill the frame when that function returns non-nil.
'tab-bar-save-frame-p' itself would be free to do with the frame
whatever it wants according to the value of 'tab-bar-save-frame'.
