Was just going to say this very same thing. Given that after four years two of which OEMs have had no choice of shipping it, and with Win 10 EOLing in four months,* the fact that it JUST pulled ahead, slightly, is hardly "popular" as much as "forced into against their wills". *And even Microsoft admits it's not going well as they've basically made the one year extension to Win 10 free to anyone who backs up their settings to a Microsoft Account, or give them 1000 points that I suspect most people have lying around unused in their account.

The point of hotpatching is precisely to avoid those annoying restarts. And I don't know about macOS, but desktop Linux only requires a restart after a kernel update, the rest of the system can run just fine without one. Hotpatching is one of those features limited by the industry to servers and prosumers "just because", the same as ECC RAM support.

And without a real technical reason. Once you develop the feature for one or two SKUs, it's already developed for all SKUs, since all of them are based on the same OS, so no idea why this limitation.

I hear ya to an extent, I just want to see one post were you’re like “wow, thats really cool!”.

Lol, liking tech doesn't mean I'm a blind follower of everything, which seems to be your expectation. If it's a pro-consumer product, I welcome it, anything anti-consumer, I dislike. Not my fault many of today's tech is anti-consumer...
