I've been using hibernate for years now. I start my computer once per month. I really wouldn't care if it takes 5 minutes.

I'm not sure why that isn't shown by default anymore. But you can still add it to the menu and map it to the power button.

It isn't shown because on 10 "power off" is a lightly-tweaked hibernate.

Not at all.

Power off closes all your apps, hibernate doesn't.

I'm generally using 15 or 20 apps. I only have to open those once a month after updates.

If someone uses power off, they have to open them daily (I know, because I have other computers in my house configured like that).

True, it's not quite identical, but I expect that's why hibernate isn't on the menu by default (b/c power off was close enough in MS's opinion).
