If this is such a security benefit why not do it after 24 hours instead? How many people go that long without using their phones?

How many people are using their phones for some other purpose for which they want their phones to never reboot? And what are they actually doing with their phones?

Because it harms the user experience.

How though? Users haven't used their phone in a day or more? How would they notice except for having to reenter their passcode which takes two seconds?

Not being able to glance at any push notifications or get incoming caller ID would be pretty disruptive.

That’s not the case if you also have other Apple devices on the same account.
