Unless your on archlinux! Every once and a while you get a buggy package that makes your system a little unstable. I remember when a kernel update made the system freeze up if something tried to sleep or stop the wifi module.
It was like an infinite loop of a module failing to stop and a service repeatedly killing it.
I once upgraded my system on Arch and it updated the kernel…and deleted the running kernel and its modules. Which was annoying when I had a video conference, and I plugged in my webcam for which the module had been removed.
Don’t forget the uptime differences!
Windows: It’s been 10 minutes, can we reboot for updates now??
Linux: Uptime- yes

(I used Arch btw. But I run Debian now.)
In fairness to arch, they do tell you on the wiki that kernel updates do that and you should restart
