How often do you restart the service... Not that often I agree, and neither do you upgrade or install patches that require a server restart that often (relatively considering how soon patches seem to be released these days). The problem is if during the install of a patch or a new application if the service needs to be restarted, the patch installation can potentially fail if it takes too long. This in fact did happen to me at least on one occasion, even after putting the server in a Development Cache mode and my only option was to back out, and retry..
So the significance is not the frequency at which you may need to restart the service, its the impact it could cause on the action you are doing that required that restart as in my example - installation of a new product or a patch that has a service restart triggered by the install after which the install needs to continue..
