If you disable the lock screen, then the adb session won't be dropped. You can also enable USB Mass Storage, and while the USB Mass Storage session is active, then the adb session also won't be dropped.
It probably makes sense to alter the behaviour so that as long as a pin code isn't required, then it shouldn't drop the adb session (since, as you suggested, anybody can unlock the phone in this case). If a passcode is required to unlock, then I would argue that it should behave like it does today. If you have root access to your phone, I can tell you how to modify your phone to enable adb all the time.
