Can I please get a reasonable explanation why on our Galaxy Watches we have the setting to toggle on "Auto Power On," but we can't get this toggle on our phones or tablets?

Samsung is the only manufacturer that doesn't turn on our phones or tablets when a device is plugged in with a dead battery. Does this feature have any ill effects that Samsung is saving us from?

My Pixel automatically turns on, my iPad automatically turns on, and my 3 Galaxy Watches automatically turn on.

It can't be a security feature; we still need to unlock the device with our PIN, pattern, or passwords. 
Why not our phones too?

That would be cool , give the device a break saving battery while auto powering on when getting closer to my sleep schedule or alarms!
