I don't know many people who shutdown both nodes of a highly available
application at the same time. If they did, I wouldn't expect them to
complain they couldn't run queries on the standby when an two obvious
and simple workarounds exist to allow them to access their data: start
the master again, or make the standby switchover, both of which are part
of standard operating procedures.
It doesn't seem very high up the list of additional features, at least.
