macOS can set to reboot on power loss, so I wonder if that's part of the rationale...that most machines are set to reboot when power (from the wall) resumes.

Oh I didn't know that! Found the setting. Now I really don't need to touch the power button.
Seems like reducing power consumption isn’t a thing anymore
When in sleep mode, Macs consume less than 1-3W of power, which is about the margin of error for most plugged-in devices. It draws ~5W idle and awake.
0W of a pulled plug is hard to beat
Are you unplugging your devices when you're not using them?
Yes
