Here we go again. Another software update that demands a needless reboot.
Any update to Samba requires no more than a stop/start of the samba process.
Same thing with the OpenSSL update.
When will Apple get with it?
(and no, my concern here isn't my system uptime, it's the excessive time it takes to reboot a system and reopen all the apps that I normally use)

I would guess that the restart is to make sure that any 3rd party applications using SSL libraries are restarted.

not to mention that your average user probably expects the computer to reboot... maybe it's some psychoogical thing </wild conjecture>
Anyway, it's really not all that inconvenient and if you feel adventurous, you can always kill the SU process, HUP your smbd and nmbd and go on your merry way in computer land.

Except that it's easy to get a list of the processes that are using any particular library.
It wouldn't take much for the installer to inform the user of these apps saying they need to be restarted before the new update will take effect.
