Officially it’s because of capacitors…but a lot of the time it’s because we don’t trust someone to actually turn it off or unplug it. They wiggle the plug and call it good; by telling someone to leave it unplugged for 10 seconds, we know they probably actually pulled the power cable out of the device.
