    To be fair, windows hibernates a lot without telling the user (hibernates when shutting down, hibernates after sleeping too long). Hibernating when shutting down was largely meant to help with slow boot times on HDDs, and it maybe shouldn’t be default now that everyone is on SSDs that both boot faster and receive more wear from hibernating.

      Hibernation on laptops helps preserve standby battery life, and I personally appreciate it as I may close my laptop lid and forget about it for a week.

        Yeah well “Shut Down” doesn’t need to be an alias to Hibernate, which it has been since vista
