I have yet to meet someone who turns off the router at night, although I have heard of such people.
Then if you think about it, TVs, washing machines, etc. people are too lazy to turn them off, and OLED TVs even require being turned on while not being used.
Because you have to have a TV for movies (unless you want to watch them on a small laptop screen)[1]. Whereas there is very literal practical reason to self-host a blog.
