When I turn my controller on, how is that my Xbox can turn on?

And why is it that I can’t remotely turn it on through the Xbox app when its power mode is set to shutdown?

Inside the xBox, there are circuits that always use power. When you push the button, that doesn’t turn on the power, it makes a signal to this always on circuit, and if conditions are right the xBox power is turned on. The app likely communicates over the network, and the network stuff isn’t always on because radios use a lot of power.
