Everytime it starts up it has to fire up all the protocols and screen and load tests rather than when it idles it just needs to boost the function that is running. As far as doing multiple resets a day doing harm, i don't know for sure, but since you mentioned it I remember now a friend who was a computer specialist telling me (a long time ago) that I should just let my home pc go to sleep if I'm not using it rather than shutting it down everytime because it is more likely to fail or burnout starting it up always. I don't know for sure but maybe it could be bad.
