    I can understand why I suppose

    I was more talking about Windows and Android. Windows recently got hot patching support but it is only on Windows server.

      Android updates are large enough that I imagine every single one comes with a new kernel and core libraries.

      Exchanging those without a reboot is hard and usually not worth the risk.

      On Windows, that’s a central architectural decision made on the 90s. It won’t change.
