I know a cetain operating system which requires you to click on "start" to
turn it off



It also requires you to click "start" to run programs. To change settings.
To view files. To search for files.

In other words, in that context, it ought to be pretty obvious to all but
the most dim-witted that you might find a whole host of interesting
functions, like turning off the computer, there.

Why people continue to insist bring this up as if it's some failure of user
interface design, I have no idea.


Because it IS a failure of UI design. Then again, to say that Windows
was designed, is to misuse the word in the first place.
