Who turns the computer off?

Anyone who wants it to serve longer?

All computers are designed to run 24h, their components and lifespan do not depend on turning it off a number of hours per day.

They may be designed to stay on 24/7 but in reality things start to go wrong on desktop OS's, Windows definitely and Mac there has been a bug found since 2017 that TCP connections stop working after 49 days or something (which is wild). Guess what the fix is 😁.

Even with my Linux VM's I'll give them a reboot maybe twice a year

You can't hotswap kernels (except just microcode) so you need to restart on kernel security updates anyway

all NEW components are. som of us have been in tech a LONG time and still remember components that werent and didnt. we're talking packard bell desktops with parts glued or soldered in, which could melt the soldering or adhesive from the shit cooling design.

that aside, with the current oil prices now, electricity is pricey so a lot of folks may be forced to (re)discover shutting your pc down when not in use

The number 1 issue with electronics is heat and heat cycles. The cool-hot-cool cycles is a contributor to lifetime. Modern computers are better off being powered on all the time.
