Pulling the power cord on a laptop won't shut it down, it will just start using the battery.
Some desktop PCs have a physical power switch on the power supply, usually next to where the power cord plugs in. But it is becoming more rare. Every $0.50 they can save in costs is added to the bottom line.
Maybe EU requires it? Most (all?) newer Dell desktops here have only the "soft" pushbutton power switch on the front of the case. Of course you can just pull out the power cord itself.

Never ever seen a power supply without a switch in my entire life and looking at eshops here in europe i cant find it either. Even the $30 have that
Also try pressing power button for 5-10 seconds on a laptop instead

Don't PSUs have a physical rocker switch for on/off?
Most but not all.
