On Xbox you also physically push and hold a button to shut down the console: push + hold the Xbox-button, then select "power down"... 2 steps.

On Switch 2: push + hold the Power button, then select "power options", then select "power down"... 3 steps.

On PS5: push PlayStation button, then push down button, then scroll left or right to "Power", then push down button to "Turn Off PS5", then push X-button.

It's not rocket science, but the procedure on PlayStation needs the most steps.

I don’t care about number of steps - not sure why you are being such an ass about this conversation 

21st century and a consumer device cannot be shutdown through its GUI, that is rocket science for a software/hardware company if they can’t even implement that.

The power options of the Switch are part of the GUI. You reach that part of the GUI by holding a button.

On Xbox and PlayStation your also reach some parts of the GUI or some functions in first party games only by holding a button.
So I don't understand why holding a button is such a strange concept to you.
