Don't e.g. alarm apps not work after that until you unlock your phone since the device data decryption keys weren't kept in RAM after rebooting? I have that feature off since I don't want that to happen. Afaik AOSP has added that to make installing updates more seamless, but it'd be useful for this too. (And since Samsung usually sucks at improving their already self-made stuff to align with AOSP, like Virtual A/B updates, I'm just assuming this)
