I bet pretty much every Windows user would trade confusing command prompts in strange circumstances for not having to reboot for pretty much every single Windows Update (due to it being unable to update files that are in use)

It would be horrendous to even try to troubleshoot a system with a dozen different version of OS DLLs loaded because the system had not been rebooted for a dozen patches.

Or, imagine every copy of Word you have running is using a different set of binaries.

No, thank you.

And yet Linux distros some how manage years of uptime with continuous updates.
