When the kernel is updated, a reboot is necessary to load the new version. Improvements and security fixes aren't implemented until a reboot. Services and daemons likewise need restart to ensure they're working. When libraries are updated (OpenSSL or Gnutls for example), they might get run with the wrong version of an application.

Isn't the kernel part of the system

It's beyond the system. There's nothing there.
