This isnt an example of "defeating the purpose". This is something that might be considered pointless, like making your bed when you'll just sleep in it again later.
Defeating the purpose would be writing the password to your computer on a sticky note and putting it where anyone can see it.
Why does everyone relate making the bed to dusting the place? Those are two completely different things. Making the bed serves nothing other than tidiness, whereas dusting is necessary to keep a clean house and keep allergies at bay.
