While spinning, the blades store a miniscule amount of kinetic energy.

After removing power even that small amount ends up as heat through friction ( both in the bearing but mostly in the air turbulence). And the blades end up in the same zero energy state: sitting still.

So it is correct that a 100% "end up" as heat
