Why is it that when electronic devices malfunction, turning them off then on works so frequently?

E.g computers, Wi-Fi routers, tvs, consoles. All these items malfunction every once in while and all I do is turn them off then on again to get them working again. Why?

Think of a software malfunction like a chain popping loose on a bike, and rebooting is like putting the chain back on and starting pedaling again
