So far you have only identified problems associated with GUI sessions. I
still see no justification for terminating *all* user processes when it's
clear there's only a problem with one very specific class of processes, all
being launched in a very specific context.
Yeah, to me it sounds like these problematic processes should say
"kill me when the session ends", rather than others having to opt-out.
If the processes are killed by default, won't other applications start
to rely on it and users who change the default will have more and more
applications running after logout?
