Clearing user state is one of the reasons I prefer reboots - it helps keep my desktop clean and tidy. I cannot imagine the mess that would arise if my session lived months. I use shutdown as a shortcut for "close all application I don't use right now"

If that's your preference, great.

But again the point is that presuming goals/preferences, or attributing them to all others (and no, OP didn't do that) scales poorly.

As with most workflow preferences, the details are highly internalised.
