Actually the ESP8266 is a bit more limited when it comes to low power.

Yes it has sleep modes, but they are not as deep as the arduinos, and require work to make them effective.

What do you mean 'not as deep as the arduinos'? There are definitely issues with coordinating WiFi and low-power usage requirements, but it offers several low-power states, that I have not had issue with so far.
