"Instant On" is actually the norm, not the exception. There's really only 1 popular device that isn't "instant on" and that's the computer (smartphones and video game consoles are just extensions). Think about cars, microwaves, TVs, virtually any audio component, etc. In general, the more software a device has, the longer it takes to use it after turning it on.
