What if the user keeps their PC on and never logs off?

Privacy shouldn't require leaving your PC running 24/7.
Yes in that case there would be no data transmitted, and no risk.

Another example: if the user turns off "Turn on when Windows starts up" or whatever equivalent, this would also be a non-issue.

Not true - if users want to play a game without appearing online, this would still out them.
