“Weird Shit” is always a possibility when there’s any power at all in the system. The PSU will keep low level power supplied for a surprisingly long time after being unplugged from the mains. 💛
Possibly helped somewhat for older machines where pressing the button made the fans spin for a little, but modern systems are somehow smart enough to not even bother doing anything

Is it true that this power gets drained when you press the power button without the power cord plugged in?
