    Double edged sword. Applications asking if you want to save your stuff aren’t designed to annoy you, they’re designed to save you from the headache of losing your work.

    But I can see why you’d want the power button to be a “stronger signal” than clicking Shut Down in some menu.

      I guess now is a good time to knee-jerkily yell “session management!”

      Apps and DEs with proper session management in place will still save your work in progress and restore it on next logon.

      Until your toddler presses it and the OS just tosses all the work that you didn’t save yet. It’s good with a safeguard, and Windows will eventually force shut down after a timeout.
