There's nothing non-interactive in the OP use case. And desktop.el already
contains

  (unless noninteractive
    (add-hook 'kill-emacs-hook 'desktop-kill))

Try

  emacs -Q --batch --eval "(progn (desktop-save-mode 1) (kill-emacs))"

so what I'm discussing is whether desktop.el should try to protect the
desktop when the user, or some code, runs `kill-emacs'.

Obviously, I'm not talking about the -Q case, and I don't thing the OP is,
either. That's just a recipe to show that kill-emacs asks an interactive
question.
