It's privileged code (logind, PID 1) that enforces a clear life-cycle on unprivileged programs. Any scheme that relies on unprivileged programs "being nice" doesn't fix the inherent security problem: after logout a user should not be able consume further runtime resources on the system, regardless if he does that because of a bug or on purpose.
