On Windows Server there is a poll, why you want to shutdown the PC, just sayin

That's for logging and administrative reasons. There's more than one person using a server. Makes sense you want to know who killed it.

I believe they're just responding to a statement in the article:

Hopefully, Microsoft won’t start injecting a poll at shutdown demanding to know why I’m turning my PC off for the day.
