After the sun sets it comes up the next morning, so saying someone is “sunsetting” something would be more of a long reboot than getting rid of the thing or shutting it down.

Why is this term used?

    I think that’s supposed to indicate a careless badass.

    Because usually you ride off in the morning into the sunrise. To ride into the sunset means you’ll be going out at night, when you can’t see and navigating is magnitudes more difficult (though also it’s easier to hide, if you’re a wanted fugitive)
