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!

Very often it is not clear just from looking at the device whether the button that says “Power” is actually performing a physical electricity cut or not. Usually it’s not. So unless you know for sure that it does, it’s best to be on the safe side and just unplug.
