Our Families Windows XP Laptop had a RAM to storage feature that essentially did the same. I think Windows killed it off but if I had to guess it's just not a good idea to avoid rebooting properly so I really can't see the use for this.

I have absolutely no clue, I just remember what it did and that I tried it a few too many times in a row back then.
