The standby drain is negligible and it allows for the device to stay updated and synced.

A lot of negligible things added together can make a lot.

My computers are perfectly up to date by just running the software update manager while using them.

But of course, being veggie, not having kids, biking or walking has a bigger impact than just turning off your computer.

As I have two lovely kids and my work involves a lot of car travel, I can’t blame you for not turning off your computer though 😇
