Gunsmith needs to do some educating (Destiny)

Half the weapons I equip have my guardian with their finger on the trigger in the status screen. Don't they know basic gun safety?

When Guardians are actually walking around the Tower their weapons are holstered, and if you look at someone who's looking at their status screen you see that doesn't change.
Now I'm wondering if the status screen is supposed to represent anything at all in-universe. I imagine it's what your Guardian would look like if someone said they were taking pictures, they'd get their best gear on, grab their favorite rifle, and strike a pose.
