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.
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...
