Sure. But that's because it's probably replacing bits of the OS kernel, 
or at the very least it's replacing widely-used system libraries, and 
the simplest way to handle that is to just reboot.

I can install an AV product and not need to reboot. (Very useful for 
fileservers!) I can install .NET, or Office, or VisualStudio, and not 
need to reboot. I can install all kinds of stuff, and mostly I don't 
need to reboot. Sometimes you still do, but it used to be any installing 
or uninstalling *anything* always required a reboot.
