Why do computers/phones have a restart option along with the power off option?

Couldn't users just turn off their computers(via the shutdown option) and use the physical button to turn it on again ? Why did they added an extra button ? It's not saving too much time or anything.

Shutdown can be a lengthy process.
Bootup can be a lengthy process.
Automatically is the fastest way to do both.
And get back to work.

Is that too many options for you?

If every update required a manual power cycle, half the Internet would be off right now.
Scratch that, almost all of the internet would be off. Waiting for one of the far too few technical staff to cycle it back on manually.
