Turning off and back on is not the same as restarting. If you want to force a restart like turn off, hold shift while clicking shutdown.

You have a very strange phone.

Sounds like the windows 10 'innovation' called fast startup. Some genius decided instead of shutting down, let's just log the user out and put the OS into standby... That'll save a lot of boot time!

It's universally hated by IT and made redundant by SSDs

I hear you I turn off Linux devices too. Zombie power is a thing as well as software being a house of cards.

Also it really fucks with some peripherals. I even had a motherboard with RGB lights (don't judge me, it was actually cheaper than the "normie" version I originally wanted) that didn't turn off the lights and the fans because of this shitty feature. I never got around to investigating who was doing things wrong between Microsoft and the manufacturer in this case though, I just got into the habit of holding shift while clicking the shutdown button.
