That entirely depends on how much your prioritize security over usefulness. I would not want that to happen, because I don't have secure things, by and large. I can completely understand other people disagreeing. Ubuntu isn't about prioritizing security over all else, I feel. A shutdown is excessive to avoid people seeing the screen for a few seconds.
