So many people referring to using the button to turn the computer off, but more than 95% of the time, you use the OS to turn a computer off. It’s only when there’s a malfunction you would need to turn it off with a hardware button.

This button is primarily for turning the computer on.

Sure but you still need to turn it on though?

I'm trying to say that it's still a useful button to have in an accessible spot because, exactly as you said, it is still used to turn it on.
