Auto restarting is actually intended to hide problems! ...from the user. The user, who probably isn't you if you're developing or administrating a service.

Any supervisory process, systemd, supervisord, kubernetes, etc should absolutely be making those restarts visible to the administrator so that they can resolve it.

The restart is just in hopes to keep the service available (symptoms in check) until the problem is actually fixed (disease is cured).
