They seem to think that adding back a shutdown button, makes windows worse, because you should be shutting down by pressing the power button.

No one I know does that. Probably because of windows 95 that trained everyone to not do it, but still that is the number 1 complaint I get from people who use it.

Some Windows Server 2012 users might find it a bit hard to press the power button when it's 1000km away. They could probably use the server's "iLO" stuff but that's klunkier - and often the group doing the shutting down (after software is made ready for shutdown) are different from the group starting it up (after hardware is replaced).
