I presume you mean "never the case for many people". As in "most people never left their PC on 24/7". That may well be true.

I used to run a couple of minecraft servers for my kids. Judging by how amazing their friends thought that was... I don't think there were many other people in the town doing that.

On the other hand, I still have a raspberry pi running 24/7 to this day.

Yes, but in this case your PC is doing something. It has a purpose. 24/7 without doing anything is a waste of energy.
