So you mean they want windows to have something that Linux has had for 20 years? Android has also had this since ~2017 too.

Linux only needs a reboot if you want to update the kernel, normally.

but in that case you can often kexec to restart linux faster, skipping the actual BIOS/UEFI boot.

also, some distros offer live patching of kernel code for $$$
