Pretty much any circular saw made in the last twenty years has a brake.

Yes, but braking is not instantaneous. IIRC, the blade will spin for 2-3 seconds (instead of possible 10 without any brake).

It's possible that the guard would close faster than the spin would stop.

    It's pretty fast: my bosch stops in about half a second.
