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!

Memory circuits maintain their state when they have power. When you remove power, they will drift to their default state. This allows anything that was set wrong to be reset to the correct state.
