When it comes to disk encryption, at least in the home, the threat model isn't somebody sitting around in your home finding a way to exfiltrate the currently-unlocked filesystem; It's someone taking the computer or the drive with them and leaving.

In your analogy, the key atop the vault vanishes as soon as the vault is moved from its location (loses power).

That wasn’t what was asked for. The original reason given was to require a password on cold boot, but not require a password when rebooting e.g. for an OS update
