multi-user system, user logs out, do you want to have buggy software still hanging around?

The whole point is for the administrators to be able to avoid users running long-running processes on shared systems (e.g. university systems).

Of course not. But I do want to have the nohup software they have running to keep running when they log out.

Right, which is why it should be possible to do this. The issue is that the default behavior has changed from honoring nohup to not honoring nohup. Defaulting to honoring nohup is what's expected, and is reasonable.
