Actually, adding a service does not require a reboot, OTOH removing - does.
My thought why SQL Server installation requires reboot is that multiple MS products share the same DLLs (though they could be different versions), and those DLLs might be in memory at the time of installation, and MS can not load into memory newer version of DLL, if older version is already there.
So, newly installed MS product can not use it's just installed newer version of the DLL until reboot.
Oracle OTOH does not have this problem.

I suspect that the mandatory reboot has more to do with changes to the environment than the registry.

A change to the registry should not require a reboot.

Adding a service however may require a reboot, as I the believe that they run in the environment created at boot time.

I could be wrong about this, but experience seems to confirm it for me.
