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.

I assume there will be a power button on the keyboard or mouse. This is just sort of a backup.

You assume everyone uses Apple keyboards

I don't, but apple does. This is why the touch ID is in the keyboard. To be fair it does come as a unit if you buy the mac new.
