My Pi 5 was always warm even when turned off. Turns out they've gone with a really stupid default which wastes ~1.6W even when not in use. Nice power button, though.
Fortunately you can change this via the pi-eeprom-config tool:

Having done this my Pi is dead cold when turned off.
This is something you only need to do once so the eeprom-writing tool doesn't need to be part of moOde; however, it would be pretty handy if it was because otherwise users (who only use their Pi for mOode) are going to have to write and boot into a regular Pi OS just to run the tool.
I mention this because at least one Pi based distro (the retro gaming system Batocera) does not provide this tool (although admittedly they only have a very early beta for the Pi 5 and perhaps this will change).
