Title says it all; I’m sure a thin layer of cement will be left over after they poor it all, and I would imagine that thin layer would harden and then the next time they use the mixer another thin layer would be leftover and so on and so forth. After a while I would imagine it would accumulate to the point where it renders the mixer unusable.
Why is this not the case?

Excellent answers.
I will add that sugar greatly prolongs concrete setting. Worried about concrete in the barrel starting to set, dump in a bottle of full sugar cola. That will extend setting time so you can hopefully get to where you can safely offload it.
It’s also used in the oilfield when you need to prevent the cement you’ve vacuumed up from setting in the truck before you’ve offloaded it
