It's just how teleop_twist_keyboard.py is currently written; It's convenient since the robot keeps moving in the same direction and/or orientation unless different command is sent.
Depending on how serious your usecase is, you could write a patch to maybe send pull request to teleop_twist_keyboard repository; e.g. a code that adds an option to stop the robot per each command. Shouldn't be any difficult.
