why do computers need to reboot after an update

I thought more recent OS had ways to update files currently in use and not require reboots.
Corporate policy of rebooting once a week and forcing it is killing me: I usually have tens of excel windows interlinked, and having to reboot daily just saps my will to live….

Because windows is poorly made, the developers working on it don’t truely understand how the underlying core code works. Thier best solution is to force a reboot rather than rewrite the complex code that runs everything. I’ve heard it argued that it’s for security, you can’t edit, add or remove system files in windows while the os is operating. But since Linux is a more secure and stable operating system this argument doesn’t make much sense.
