Same reason you don’t have to worry about losing a file if you save it, log off the program, and put your computer in sleep mode versus someone ripping the power cord out of the wall while you’re in the middle of creating a word doc. One is abrupt cessation of all functions regardless of consequence and the other is a deliberate program to tuck everything away and consume less energy while its main functions aren’t in use.
