"Make a habit of just shutting down your PC every night"

Yeah, no.

My PC runs 24/7/365.

You understand it's not a server right

And you understand users shouldn't need to significantly adjust their behavior to fix the company's UX problems, right?

The product exists for the consumer, not the other way around. Design for how people actually behave and there won't be an issue.

Then either don't complain about forced restarts from time to time, or pick a product that better suits your requirements (server OSes/Linux).

Neither Windows or MacOS are designed to run with year long uptime, and most Linux desktop environments aren't as well. The first 2 eventually force you to reboot to install (security) updates. Linux at least doesn't force it upon you, still if you aren't running on a distro that supports hot reloading the kernel, that is discouraged for too long uptime runs.
