I don't know why it's inhibiting you here, but Linux is a multi-user OS (meaning multiple users can be logged in at the same time), so it definitely makes sense for it to have a mechanism like that. If another user is in the middle of a long-running operation, it might be very bad to forcibly cancel that...

Sure, but in this case it’s my own process that’s preventing shutdown. And it’s the cinnamon session of all things.
