I do it myself because it seems easier on the engine and accesories (pumps, etc) that are attached to it. When decompressed, it slowly rolls to a stop instead of jerking back and forth at the end.

It also keeps the flywheel from stopping in the same spot (actually two spots when either cylinder is on compression). After years of stopping/restarting in the same spot, there can be enough wear that the starter/pony won't engage right.

I kill the fuel, then decompress for the last few turns. I don't think you should kill with decompression alone, this would leave unburned fuel in the cylinders.
