Not it’s not at all. Do you turn a computer or tv off by pulling the cord? No, you turn it off by a switch/button or in the GUI if it has one. I’m from the US.

If you had a stero system at your house you would not pull the cord to turn it off. Wow.

Some places/people have a concern (complex?) about standby or parasitic power draw.
