If we had memory leaks caused by drivers we would have to debug them all the way as well, restarting the device every few hours wasn't an option.

  Exactly. We all choose the most cost effective solution - it's a balance between engineering effort and how effective the fix is. In the case of a touch screen, rebootingit every few hours isn't as effective as debugging the underlying cause. In the case of a web server having a memory leak, killing a pod and bringing up a new one automatically when it gets unhealthy definitely is. It's not surprising that each dev team settles on different solutions to each problem.

    It still feels dirty though.
