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?

imperfect code typically.

If they were perfect, programs would always clean up after themselves, and let go of what they have grabbed and only take what they really need. But they’re not, so you get things that hang around, or take up too much because they keep asking for more without using what they’ve got.

Restarting just resets everything and starts with a clean slate. Like if you could clean your living room by just getting a new one.
