The main reason I implemented it as a job was that the person who suggested the change noted that his real problem was that sometimes he wanted the program to shutdown after encoding, and sometimes he didn't. Doing it this way means there's a prominent SHUTDOWN label sitting at the end of the job queue, which makes it clear what's happening, rather than a checkbox setting which can be missed. I thought this was a better way of doing things for such an important system event.
