iOS devices do OTA updates of the tzdb

Android 8.1 added something similar; see <https://source.android.com/devices/tech/config/timezone-rules>. Like iOS, the update mechanism requires a device restart, which is a real pain for users; unlike iOS, it requires coordination between Google and OEMs, a pain for the OEMs. Red Hat, Ubuntu, etc. do not require reboots on tzdata updates, though there is a downside: currently-running processes that have loaded some tzdata will  cache it by default, so you may need to restart the processes.
