I find it odd. I deeply dislike the three-position on-off switch exactly because I don't do video. If you're switching the camera on in a hurry you're very likely to flip the switch to video…

In your usage, why do you elect to power off vs allowing camera to power down based on the integrated timer?

I don't. I power on when leaving home (or bringing the camera from bag) and off when coming back (or putting it back in). Which is why I would prefer the switch to be where it is on the other cameras, by the way.

But it's not unlikely to happen that a photo opportunity happens when one is not ready – interesting bird appears when I'm unpacking or when I already switched off, causing one to be turning on in a hurry.
