Implicitness of destructors isn't a problem, it's an advantage - it makes code shorter. Freeing resources in an explicit way creates too much boilerplate and is bug-prone.

Isn't it a code quality issue? It should be clear from class name/description what can happen in its destructor. And if it's not clear, it's not that relevant.
