For me the reasoning is the other way around: "Since drawers are meant
to remove stuff from view, i.e., their contents are, more often than
not, hidden", I'd say if the drawer is open prior to org-add-note
there might be a reason why so and it would ne nice not to interfere
with the users choice.

I open my org files in show-everything view for performance reasons.
I have turned on note taking for many funtions like changing TODO
states an cklockin out, therefore the really big drawer collapses all
the time although I want it to stay open.

Just my 2, Gregor
