I think the misconception here stems from the fact that XBox is almost always in rest mode unless you go out of your way to do a full system shutdown.  As I am sure you know, hitting the off button actually puts it in standby and has no visual indication of what it is doing.

That was a feature the Xbox One had as well... I have it turned off and such on all my consoles, including the PS5.
The startup is definitely there, loudly and proudly.

Less idle power usage then... Plus the Xbox had a habit of downloading the *entire* game in one hit rather than just the patch data, just better to do it manually... That and I don't have 1,000Mbps internet for another couple weeks.

Yep, the X1 had it too.  I went an entire year forgetting the start up screen even existed because of it, which is why I can see why the same misconception with the Series X/S.  A lot of people seem to mistaken it fornbeing the SSD not needing a start-up, since that is the buzz word of this generational leap.  But as you pointed out, that just isn't the case.
