Seems a little excessive don't you think?  What if you were simply just walking by the TV in the living room with no intention of playing a game?

Then what does it hurt? Xbox One owners run their TVs, Netflix, etc. through there so it signing you in automatically when it turns on lets you stream shows, play games, run any other apps you might have, etc. Since saying 'Xbox On' is how every member of my family turns the TV on in our living room for any purpose whatsoever (if the living room TV is on, the xbox is on: it turns on the audio receiver as well) then having it sign us in so we don't have to go through extra steps to get into netflix, amazon video, etc. is very helpful. In what circumstance would it be harmful?

I was just thinking the system is running constantly is where I'm going.  To my knowledge all systems can save sign on creditionals.  I used to run my Wii U in standby to download the latest patch etc.. but I recently just stopped everything including the quick boot due to wanting to leave my system off instead of idling all the time.  The only savior of course is that Wii U patches usually aren't too large so if need to download it doesn't take long.
