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!

Wow, you must have nice routers. None of mine have a power button. They have a “reboot” button, which doesn’t do that but does reset some stuff. Only removing their power input cord actually powers them off.
