Anyone who is using full disk encryption will be turning off their computer when they're not around. Hibernation is an option if you want to keep your state.

I was about to comment that exactly. If you computer is never switched off, your encryption is permanently bypassed.
True but in practice it's still worth something if a screen lock is used. The police won't be foiled but a casual thief is likely to unplug or reboot and at that point your data is protected.
Unless you use iOS which properly handles clearing encryption keys when the device is locked.
