Anymore, standby seems to be a solution for a problem which no longer exists. Booting from a completely powered off state to a full desktop takes very little time, on a modern system with an SSD. You're also less likely to be online to receive updates or the like while in a standby state. Unlike phones, computers rarely have cellular modems. So, the benefits of an "always on" state are largely lost, as the system isn't going to get updates, notifications or data while it's in standby. Just power the device off.
What about session state?
