> I've never really understood the desire to use the button on the display to turn off monitors - does allowing the monitors to be switched off by the OS not solve basically the same problem ?

Right now, my monitor is in my bedroom. If I let the OS shut off the monitor, it still shows a little white pulsing light to show it's in sleep mode. That's really annoying when I'm trying to sleep.

And my monitor has an extremely bright pulsing white LED. I have a piece of orange electrical tape over it, and it is still on the bright side. Dell e2414h if anyone's curious.
