These days, where so much hardware is hot swappable (even on little
computers, where USB is how much hardware is attached), I find kernel /
low level software / underlying hypervisor issues to be the main reasons
to reboot.

I attach and detach sound "cards" and disks with USB regularly on
personal and $WORK laptops. The rack mounted $WORK servers get non-USB
disks, power supplies, and network devices swapped without reboots. But
all of them need reboots for kernel changes.
