I guess my modern systems are different from yours, boot times are long. Also, in my life software has state and that is kept by sleep and hibernate. So when the computer wakes up, apps are in the same state as before, the same files open at the same location. Boot time doesn't really matter when starting up apps and opening files takes a lot longer. And yes, waking up from hibernate isn't particularly fast with modern systems but it's also a very low power mode which becomes relevant with a laptop.
