As restarting is often one of the first debugging steps for so many things.

If you're the kind of person who can troubleshoot a faulty drive, then you're not the kind of person who should reboot as a first step towards debugging. Especially if you suspect a faulty drive.

I suspect that most people, when a computer freezes, don't instantaneously suspect a faulty drive. At least not before they try other things, a large chunk of which require reboots.
