Why not "Zero Thrust" in simulated SE failure?

A stopped prop produces less drag than a windmilling one. Setting "zero thrust" simulates that situation for practice engine failures in ME aircraft.

Shouldn't the same principle apply in singles? Would it give a more accurate impression of performance when the donkey actually stops?
