Huh, is this also why my gaming PCs the last 5 or so years are absolutely dogshit at staying asleep? I've never come across the term even though I've spent too much time troubleshooting and identifying which peripheral woke the computer up. The most annoying thing is that there is a toggle for "allow wake event" in device manager but it seems to be a mild suggestion at best... For some devices like keyboard and mouse it's 50/50 if it does anything it seems. I've resorted to just locking and shutting the screen off...
I don't have this issue, except once when I got my first desktop connected with wired internet. Turns out, yeah the wired internet (or the adapter/driver) can actually wake the computer... Turned it off and been mostly problem free from wakeups.
