It shouldn’t unmount those system dirs unless you have a really weird setup or specify with —types.

From the man page:

-a, --all
All of the filesystems described in /proc/self/mountinfo (or

in deprecated /etc/mtab) are unmounted, except the proc,

devfs, devpts, sysfs, rpc_pipefs and nfsd filesystems. This

list of the filesystems may be replaced by --types umount

option.

https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man8/umount.8.html

If you are using a system with snap like Ubuntu, it will unmount those since they are technically mounts. It will fail if an app is using the snap but subsequent opens of closed snaps will fail.
