Terminating apps and OS improperly can corrupt files. If your HDD is writing when you power off, that file will surely be corrupted. Outside of that, the shutdown procedure removes temporary files that were in use during your session. If you want to waste HDD space with useless files, don't use the shut down process. Shut down also ensures that your HDD heads "park" properly. Your call.
