I think this is definitly not device specific. You need something to shutdown
you device with an touch event.
But there are more reasons:
 
- if you press the phyical power down button by accident, you may want to cancel
this
- if you press the power down short for example you may want to decide vor a
cold reboot, suspend or a warm start (option)
- it is easier to have at the beginning an icon, than finding out the events for
button on new devices. That may have negative impacts for AppDevelopers. They
often need to reboot for testing apps
 
Probably more reasons are. But it clearly makes sense to have something like
that which is configurable when it appears, even some devices we don't need it
on the display in the future. But you always need it for power down events.
