Well, I suppose you could always work on your own systemd unit to do that.  I certainly wouldn't want it as a default on any of my systems.  I've got a fairly old/slow NFS server on my network and when large transfers are going on it can appear to be hung.  I'd be concerned that doing this as a default action would result in transfers being terminated and data being lost/corrupted.

Unless there are others than yourself using the system you wouldn't need an alias for every possible shutdown command.  :-) :-)
