Probably because "Windows Modern Standby" makes laptops unusable by turning them on in your backpack and cooking them.

I still don't understand how Microsoft lets standby remain broken. I can never leave the PC in my bedroom ij standby because it will randomly wake up and blast the coolers.

I remember having this issue back in 2014... maybe the tech is not there yet.

Haa, amazing. I had this happen to TWO Dell XPS for me, before finally switching over to Mac.

To be fair, this was also my experience with Macbooks. This "smart sleep" from modern OS manufacturers is the dumbest shit ever, please just give me a hibernate option.
