Not if you hold the power button. Yeah if you single press a power button, the os can divert that, but long press, the SMC will cut power. Similarly how, pressing and holding the power and the volume down button on a phone, cuts power, even if the OS is hard frozen. Sometimes you just need an emergency exit.
It’s still the OS doing it, it’s just reacting to the power button press like any other input device.

Someone who isn’t a pedant would interpret “using the OS” as going through the start menu, or equivalent.
True but that’s extremely rare for people to do.
True but if you can’t do it, you are pretty screwed.
You are unbelievably pedantic.
I was going to downvote you when I realized
Yeah, that isn’t a important distinction in a discussion about power button locations
He really is pedantic
