It is most likely because someone decided to shut down the computer.

10 years ago, when Linux and many BIOS support for ACPI was quite buggy,
acpi=off was a useful workaround.  Same for the APIC architecture and
noapic.

Today, disabling use of these features is a terrible idea because the
old modes of operation is not so well-tested.

No, but it potentially introduces new problems.
