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.
