I can only agree.

It might be possible to change some ACPI settings in the BIOS to
circumvent this, or pass commands to the kernel in startup parameters,
but if you did it might adversely affect power management. I think
you're stuck with it, then. Sorry to have to say so.

FWIW, once the machine is in its POST, it's safe to turn off. It's how
I do a quick shutdown:

Ctrl-Alt-F1 to the system console
Ctrl-Alt-Del
(Wait for reboot)
(Press power switch)
