PS4 is not like XBox, which is always on standby unless you unplug it.  Most people I know turn the PS4 console off completely, myself included, unless suspending a game in standby mode.

It's exactly like Xbox One in that regard actually. The standby mode is optional on both. You can properly turn your Xbox One off if you so choose (I did when I had one) and you can also have your PS4 set to automatically come on to download updates etc.

You do not need to be signed into PSN to use Netflix.  Even the X1 does not have it locked behind XBL.

Yes, you do. You don't have to pay for PS+, but you do need to be signed into PSN. No PSN connection = no internet connection and no internet = no Netflix.

My X1 appears to be powered down, but is always in standby.  This does not matter if I do it from the controller and select "turn off" or by the touch button.  The only time it ever powers off is when it is unplugged.  I do have one of the models that was still bundled with kinect however, so maybe newer models are different.
