I have a similar Nikon E5600 that takes two AA batteries (the alkalines die very quickly, so I use lithium), but the camera is tiny & light with a 35-105 (EQU) zoom (with zooming viewfinder). I got it for $3 at a thrift store. What's not to love?
I think this is just a matter of progressive insight. Likely Sony found that the sensors attract slightly more dust when powered on, and perhaps found a very minor risk of damage due to shorting the contacts or power surge, and decided to add it to the manuals of later models just to be sure.
