As a hosting provider you can not prevent your client from
making the nameserver changes to the domain name and
leaving.
As a Registrar you could.
Unless of course you are one of the hosting companies that
make yourself the admin, tech and billing contact when you
register a domain for a client.
Assuming that you are not one of those, then you are
comparing two different things.
I don't see a problem with a hosting company emailing a
client to ensure that the client is aware of the
transaction, as the hosting company's actions can't prevent
or slow down the process if it was the client's intent to
leave.
