And I am one of them, so somehow when you fall asleep while listening to your playlist no one is going to listen that song and it may blow up some part of HomePod during the night. Meanwhile, after this big issue, sleep timers are introduced in the speakers, which let you set the timer for X hours or X minutes and fall asleep without worrying about power and damage.
