> Relegating the side button to only function as power off and nothing else is not a good default behavior

And what will be a "good default behavior" ? A button which choses its actions by the phases of the moon ? /s

I turn off my phone, when not in use (at some nights or my work phone when i'm in the office).

If you turn your phone off frequently then knowing what the “secret combination” for power off should not be difficult. We’re talking about holding down the power button and one of the volume buttons… it’s not rocket science.

You can argue whether or not the default behavior is good… but no phone “chooses its actions by the phase of the moon”. That’s very disingenuous. Either way, having the power button held down not force off the phone is a good thing for avoiding accidental power down.
