Damn straight. The xbox builds of Windows do this too (so the console is still controllable when a game is running) and I swear the lack of control in desktop OSs (can't start Task Manager to kill the thing that's stopping you from starting anything) will kill desktop computing if mobile OSs increase their capabilities.
A device that isn't responsive to input is indistinguishable from the device being broken.
