A typical circuit for this is a micro-controller.

We already have micro-controller designs with zero leakage current at standby(with fast wakeup), which is practically zero-leakage:

I wonder why aren't they being commercialized though.

My understanding is because FRAM is still difficult to manufacture and is keeping the cost high. It's advantages will lead to it to be pulled in for those low power uses but it'll be a while to make it's way into the niche.
