AFAIK the use case is laptops because sleep and hibernate still uses some small amount of the battery. You used to be able to stop that by turning off wake from USB but that meant having to press the power button to wake it up and I guess they decided to just make it that way anyway.

Sleep does, hibernate is 100% off with no battery usage.

If and only if you disable wake from USB.

Hibernate is that thing where my wife's computer takes a full minute to wake up...
