Yes, exactly. Lazyness is good. Any second spend on hitting Ctrl+F and typing in the name of a cleanup function is lost. Any time you overlook something because the cleanup and the code are not on the same screen is a bug that is overlooked. Any time one of the cleanup functions is overlooked can cause hours lost in debugging after a change.
