If you have a TV and an amp that comply with HDMI-CEC you can enable it and turning the TV off/on will at least turn the amp/TV on/off.
Personally I found HDMI-CEC to be irritating and not consistent, so I turned it off and use my 40.0 remote with two buttons .

Not single press... but if you do voice command “Turn off” it will shut the receiver off. Then press tv and power... will turn the other two off.
Only 2. Press and hold voice command(one press)
Press TV(second press)
Press power(third press)
Your proposal
Press power(one press)
Also, you can press power and it will sh*t down the tv and aux unit, and start a 5 minute count down on the receiver to turn it off. It would require that your remote is programmed to all three devices and I believe an HDMI cEC type setting has to be set on the aux.

With alexa and Google Home... and the competition... it is a good gimmick. It’s great for kids that can’t read. My son, when he was 4, would speak “Nickelodeon” and watched. It was great. I agree it is a gimmick, but so is 3D and 4K. Sometimes gimmicks are what is needed.
We use it all the time. Once you learn how to use it you’ll realize it’s not a gimmick/play-toy it’s an extremely useful tool.
My Hopper 3 goes into my soundbar and the soundbar goes into the TV (ARC). Once I set up my remote under Devices to include my TV and soundbar, and switched HDMI-CEC to On, I just aim the remote at the soundbar and it turns all three devices on/off.
That's assuming you have HDMI ARC devices. If you don't, I don't know how to get it to work.

This is why I have a Logitech remote. I turn everything on and off with a single button push. My wife uses the 54 and I use the Logitech.
Probably remote 55.0 will be able to turn on all your devices with one button. They can change it with one line of code!
Be nice to see an option to purchase a Logitech style universal. They can sell it for $120, although I can see people complaining how it should be free. I remember when they had the Logitech keyboard... people expected that for free too.
