This actually only really applied to windows.

Bad things can happen if you just reboot Linux when you have a problem.

And macos (used to be?) something i restarted once every few months. Any issues would just need an application or finder restart at worse.

I agree, there is no innovation whatsoever in this approach.

Furthermore, it ignores important lessons we've learned a long time ago.
