The point is that just because someone takes a defensive position on their back doesn't mean that the next thing that will happen is a ground and pound. If general traditional martial arts perspective exist it would probably be that being on the ground is a bad thing so do everything you can to not end up on the ground or to get up from the ground.
The more pressing question is what does the traditional martial artist do if THEY are the ones on the ground getting pounded in the face.
Typically the response is "we just don't end up on the ground", and that is complete and utter nonsense.
