You do if you're reading the text. Any time you interact with it in
any way you'd have a menu and cursor, etc. If you stop and read,
everything but the text goes away. It could be an optional setting
that's not enabled by default. I think that's about as close as one
can get to a happy medium on something like this.

Note: Such a thing is not an option I would enable, but I'm a firm
believer in offering users choices, and it's a choice that looks
possible to me.
