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

2•saonnet•54m ago
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.
