Why can't I turn off my PS4 with the button?

If the power button of your PS4 doesn't work, you should check whether the console is dirty. Dusty hardware might cause the power button not to work. Therefore, please make sure the sides of the power button are clean. And it is always good to clean the console regularly.

Is it OK to always turn off PS4?

No. It takes a few moments to turn on and another few to turn off. I tend to keep mine in rest mode and it takes a moment to "wake up." If you were to shut down the PS4 in the middle of a game you would lose any unsaved progress and then have to go through a power on and the game start menu to resume playing.

When I push the power button on my ps4 it immediately turns off?

One of the things that can cause it is a bad power supply. Sometimes something in the power supply goes bad and that doesn't let the right amount of power get to the console. This makes the console turn right back off. Another common cause of this problem is faulty solder joints and/or faulty chips on the motherboard.
