Most of the time you do want this behavior, EXCEPT when you want to ensure geometric stability of the text you are drawing. At that point you want to switch over to Glyph-based rendering, and use geometric antialiasing, not text anti-aliasing.
If you are drawing animated text under a transform, this avoids "popping" in weight appearance. When rendering text you can aim for legibility (at the cost of geometric precision), or geometry (at the cost of legibility).
