I'm tired of repeating myself, so please just check my comment history so I don't have to tell you why this is a bad idea for the fourth time in this thread.

You can accurately preach best usecases all you want it falls flat before peopled experience.

I always shutdown my desktop. So did i with all my previous desktops.

Ive always shut down every windows/linux laptop i ever had.

I shut down my android tablet after use.

I owned and mainly used a MacBook pro for 5 years, i never shut it down, i never shutdown my iPhone. It was also ironically the best windows laptop i had owned at that point (in dual boot) and i always shut down when i worked in Windows, just never in macos

Apple did not tell me to do this, it is not difficult to shutdown a mac, no one told me to change what i am used to. It just somehow made the most sense so thats how i used it. And i reverted naturally when i ent back to non apple desktops. I cant explain it better then that.

This does not excuse having a power button on the bottom, thats just ridiculous. Just a hint that what your saying about downsides is irrelevant to how people realistically use it.

You seem very pissed off about absolutely nothing. Maybe a Mac just isn’t for you. Chill out and maybe log off for a bit

I'm not upset; you're projecting.
