why computers need to be restarted periodically to function correctly

I work at a major tech company and most times I go to IT, they tell us to restart our computer. Why is this a necessary process to maintain a normal operating experience?

Computer software is imperfect and doesn’t always clean up after them nicely…

It’s like a desk. You start in the morning with a pristine desk, but as the day goes, mess slowly creeps in…The pencils are not in the right places anymore, there are pieces of paper laying around etc. Maybe an half-empty cup of coffee… It starts to get more difficult to work there, and the coffee poses serious risks – whole desk might crash…

A restart brings that desk to a pristine state again.
