Reloading the page is way easier then rebuilding the entire comment section, should something be renewed ( eg. a new comment).

It also (partially) removes the requirement for live-pages on an active post here.

This isn't about reloading the page on voting with JS disabled; it's about the XHR call when you have JS enabled. It goes to the same endpoint as a non-JS call, ultimately loading the new page, but completely discards it (as it is an XHR call not an actual pageload).
