We had an internal hypothesis that far more people would put their console into rest mode than would fully shut it down each time between their play sessions. As it turned out, it was actually about 50/50 between the two options among all our players. So, what that meant was for about 50 percent of our users, when they booted up, if they were in the U.S. they were landing on our 'Explore' page, and if they were outside the U.S. they were landing on the game page for the last game that they have played.
The Welcome Hub added last year fixed that by adding a bunch of customizable widgets that immediately share cool info about things like console storage, DualSense battery life, and wishlist sales. It's all part of an ongoing effort within Sony to 'have more shortcuts' in the console that 'reduce the number of clicks' for players to get.
