I'm not saying to coast from 60mph to stop at idle but no reason anyone should be downshifting to first when you're going to come to a complete stop...

Have to agree with that.
Coming to a complete stop should be done in 2nd, then down into neutral or hold the clutch in, first is only for pulling off.
