Hmm, didn't think of that one...
Also a novel idea...
It's like they're catching up to best practices from 10 years ago, good job team!
Listening to literally any sysadmin would have had these practices already in play.

Definitely incorrect. My machine was powered off by physical switch at that time. It was powered off at 17:00 the day before and powered up at 08:00 CEST / 06:00 UTC and promptly bluescreened.
