Let’s say I have a computer plugged in, or a microwave, or phone charger plugged in. Isn’t the point of a device being off is that it’s not supposed to be using electricity? How much watts of power am I looking at that’s being consumed per hour?
Where does this apply and where does it not? Shouldn’t I try to unplug everything as much as possible to save money?

Because they do not turn off but enter into standby mode.
All those extra features require power to maintain them such as a clock or your internet connection on some models of smart TV. Pull the plug? the info is gone and it’s reset to default. Some devices simply go to sleep as they don’t think people want to wait the few seconds it would take to restart the device.
There’s lots of reasons why companies make things that don’t turn off.
