I don't understand why many desktop environments don't have a confirmation when you click one of those. Only ones I know that do it are GNOME and KDE

The confirmation is annoying for many GNU+Linux users. It's like asking are you sure you want to power off even though you had to use three or four keys or mouse clicks just to get to the poweroff menu.

It's not the total number of clicks that matters. It's the fact that several options (sleep, reboot, shut down) are the same final click and often a pixel or two away from each other.

I think Cinnamon does that too.

On cinnamon: I click the power button in the menu, a pop up asks me what I want to do (suspend, restart, power off, cancel.)

I generally click suspend. There are no further pop ups.

  • Including Unix and BSD.

  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
