It is done that way in most scores, except perhaps some modern
editions, but I wouldn't use those as an example of good engraving.  I
think it is more aestetic, easier to read (especially when there are
multiple wholebar notes in a row), and makes clear that the note takes
the whole duration of the bar.  As an example I have attached part of
a brahms piano piece.  I could give countless other examples.
