These two examples do not use a minibuffer, they use the echo area.

FWIW, I strongly disagree with the "always" idea. There are cases where
seeing a cursor is perhaps not important and perhaps undesirable, but
there are many cases where seeing visually that the selected window has
changed and that the active cursor has moved to the minibuffer is
important, such as when you press C-x C-c with a non-saved file-visiting
buffer, and/or when you (fset 'yes-or-no-p 'y-or-n-p).
