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?

Primarily because MS Windows is a house of cards built upon the slopes of vesuvius, should it fail to randomly shit itself every now and again and need a restart then the very fabric of reality would sunder and release the unmade eldritch horrors from beyond the pale.

It’s a frankensteins monster of an operating system built out of a billion parts slapped together and beta tested by the general public to the lowest passing grade.

In short if you are spinning 500 plates on the end of pointy sticks then every now and again one of them will get missed and fall, normally you can pick it back up and get back to spinning but alas every now and again one will go flying off and knock a load of other plates off and by that time you might as well start the whole thing again as spend time trying to get them all up spinning again will take longer than just starting fresh.

Also the IT guys don’t know or care what’s wrong at your end and if rebooting sorts the problem they can go back to watching YouTube.
