Definitions are being stretched all around for this. Vampire/phantom power was a specific problem where devices that were turned off by the user would still consume 5-10w. The only way to remove that power use was to completely cut the electricity to the device. From testing I did a while ago, devices made after around 2010 don't have this problem. Deciding not to turn off a device can certainly be a problem. But it's a relatively new one.
