eli5 why do people say that using the power-on button to turn off the pc is bad? (And the button on the back too) what harm does it do?

On modern OS-es you can program what the power button does, if you set it to send a shutdown command it is the same like pressing start > shutdown. (i think windows is set to do that out of the box)

People say its bad because it was bad to do it on really old PCs (It would shutdown immediately and could lead to file corruption)
