Don't do that, you will end up with an unstable system.  Please always
shutdown like normal.

Yes, that is because you are shutting down things in the proper order,
like a normal shutdown will do.

sysrq is not for a normal shutdown, again, do not do that and expect to
have data saved properly.

good luck!
