Interesting to hear such things discussed at that level. Turning it off is suggested to get rid of compromised background processes that might be spying on users. Obviously, this only help against malware that isn’t permanently installed on a phone.

      I don’t think iPhones have that feature.

      Several brands of Android phones have it (as an overnight battery saver feature), but Android generally doesn’t benefit as much from rebooting as iOS does. There’s a system image repair mechanism in Android, but Android offers other methods of persistence for malware to grab onto.
