It's really not. Hibernate takes a few minutes, and allows you to power
down. Suspend takes a few seconds and cannot be powered down. These are
important differences that users _do_ understand.

These might seem technical differences, but they are very important.

Right, so you're talking about hybrid suspend/hibernate. If you want to
expose that, then I would argue just do hybrid when you want to
hibernate (if available) in the UI, as resume from hibernate takes a few
seconds, not a minute or so, as long as you don't power down. You never
want to do hibernate if hybrid is supported, there's just no point.
