As always with these things, the answer probably is going to be "depends".

also, what kind of phone can't be immediately powered up when connected to a charger?

If sufficiently discharged, an iPhone requires about ten to fifteen minutes on a charger to power on. This is true of all models, going back to the original release.

My question is really aimed at "will they bother to plug it in and wait", or would they just skip it.

My android [Acer E380] sometimes can't start without a few minutes on the charger, the battery is dying after the designed in service period.

Moto G2, takes about five minutes to go from 0% to 1% and does not turn on until then.

iPhone, takes a few minutes to power it once it's dead.
