  Becuase those responsible for developing gnome don't see suspend as a 
needed feature.  Just power off.  So an extension provides the 
hibernate/suspend function, and does it with a single button approach.  
I forgot about needing to hold down alt to get the button to do a 
suspend rather than hibernate.  I really wish it worked the other way 
around, as IMHBO (my highly biased opinion), suspend is more valuable 
and used more frequently than hibernate.
