What you say here is simply not true.
There are many scenarios in which workers shutdown with no opportunity for
any sort of shutdown hook. Sometimes the entire machine gets shutdown, and
not even the OS will have much of a chance to do anything. At scale this
will happen with some regularity, and a distributed system that assumes
this will not happen is a poor distributed system.
