Lot of technical answers here, but not much “why?” Many electrical devices are designed to keep running right through a short power outage, like when your lights flicker. But in cases where they get confused and need to forget what they were doing and start over, leaving them off for several seconds lets them know that they should stop trying to keep going but start over clean instead.
