So you mean they want windows to have something that Linux has had for 20 years? Android has also had this since ~2017 too.

My android phone and Linux computers all still want reboots after updates...

"Colonel updates require a reboot, but just normal application updates do not. And most system updates do not. I partly misspoke about Android. I should have been more clear because I was referring to the A/B partition scheme, but yeah, to run the new system does require rebooting.
