I haven't found a clear explanation but it seems to be designed around
encouraging people to suspend.    In any case, if you don't like this
behaviour,  I maintain a bunch of GNOME Shell Extensions in the Fedora
repo (yum search gnome-shell-extensions -C) and one of them can help

#  yum install gnome-shell-extensions-alternative-status-menu

Alt+F2,  press r and enter to restart the shell.  You should have a
permanent power off item in the menu.
