why do lenses with the EF adapter require the lens cap when turning the camera off, but native lenses don’t?

What???

Every time I turn my camera off with an EF or EF-S lens on, it says "Keep the Lens Cap On after Camera is Off", but native lenses don't say that. The camera just shuts off normally. I thought the sensor is aways exposed whether you have the camera off or on since there's no mirror covering it. So why is it important to keep the lens cap on when an EF or EF-S lens is attached vs a native EF-M lens?
