Your theory is correct, but it’s not relevant to this application. The window motor produces a tiny fraction of a horsepower, turns at maybe 500 rpm, and drives a complex mechanism with high friction loads. There isn’t enough residual motion to provide much generated power, so essentially no braking force. The problem you describe is one of hand/eye coordination.
