The point is that, if all you're going to do by way of a "clean shutdown" is send SIGTERM to the process and not wait for it to complete (which is the case for quite a number of init scripts; Scott did a survey of those that were part of a stock Ubuntu desktop installation at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Teardown), then you might as well just let sendsigs do that since it's going to do so anyway. This isn't "not doing clean shutdowns" - it's just rationalising away multiple init scripts called on shutdown that are duplicating work done by a core script.
