Sorry for the lay question but what’s the benefit of the hard reset over a general restart?
Layperson here so just guessing. If not using the hard reset method, the exploit might fake the reboot sequence to maintain its own persistence. AFAIK, a hard reset is built in hardware and thus impossible to fake.
I believe they’re assuming that malware can do a pretend reboot whereas the hardware keystroke can’t be faked.
