You need to be careful with the meaning of "always on". It is always
on in that the hardware does not have any PMICs. It is impossible to
turn the power off. This is a poweroff driver, and it powers the
hardware off by dropping into the bootloader which then spins.

Is there off the shelf x86 which does not support turning the power
off? I'm not familiar with x86 that much, but it seems to be a feature
that has existed since the first IBM PC in 1980.
