That sounds absurd to me.
Maybe I'm not a "typical user" (who is?)
but I often need to start or restart services,
eg yesterday I had to restart sendmail after changing my SMARTHOST.
I also restarted dhcpd after adding another device to dhcpd.conf .
Are you suggesting I should re-boot after each of these?

I remember that NetworkManager used to have the mantra "It just works".
They seem to have dropped it now NM actually does work most of the time.
