Why are we supposed to pull the electricity out of the router to reset rather than just flicking the electricity switch?

I understand that there is a difference between sleep mode and actually cutting the electricity. However, most if not every router I’ve ever handled has had a physical electricity cut switch… or so I’m led to believe? Please bring me clarity!

A hard power switch works just fine. 

Some routers don’t have them and it’s easier to just tell everyone to unplug it and replug it than to try to walk them through figuring out if their router has a sleep button, a reset button, a hard power switch, etc…. unplugging works for all of them.
