Surely it depends on the context? If it's mindless zombies, or a hungry beast which has got a downed character alone, or a bbeg who has the party fleeing and is standing over their downed party member. Then yes it makes sense to finish off a downed character.
If it's a thug who has downed the wizard, but is also in base contact with the party barbarian, then no way in hell are they going to let the angry battleaxe wielding monster get free hits on them while they attack the guy already on the ground.
