Every computer I have used needs restarts. Genuinely curious if there is a way to make things not need reboots, and if so, why doesn’t Apple implement it

Every consumer computer. Human-rated aerospace hardware and software are held to much, much different standards. Apple doesn't build to these standards because it's expensive to do so, and so far consumers have been willing to tolerate a little frustration in exchange for having devices they can afford and that can do new things without requiring a five-year development program.
Apple can afford to do billion dollar experiments with sapphire phones and cars, are we talking $100B to make software that doesn’t need to restart?
