Apologies, I will literally never be able to relate to this entire line of thinking. If I'm at an airport and it's close to boarding time, my laptop has already been shut down ten minutes ago because when I first hear the announcement I see that as 'computer time is over' and consider this just generally the smart thing to do (... And you can just hibernate or disable wifi/bluetooth and leave the thing on anyway)
Generally if I'm turning off my computer I understand that as something that could take a minute or three because a small wait is not this huge dramatic thing y'all make it out to be.

It's not a dramatic thing for me personally. 90 percent of the time my laptop politely sleeps when I ask it to, the remaining 10 percent of the time it's going to sleep regardless of its opinion on the matter.
Small edit: I have sometimes been the unlucky recipient of a bundle of windows updates that that 15-20 minutes to complete. One thing about Linux distros, they don't pull that kind of stunt in shutdown.
And lucky you to be able to not have any last minute things to deal with at the airport that get foisted upon you by clients / coworkers. Computer time is never over.
