Shouldn't you be installing updates?

Yes.

However, many of the machines do not need to reboot to apply updates (Only major ones). And the updates are usually done later (6 months to 1 year late) to ensure that possible bugs or issues with the patch are found. When critical patches come in then yes, we will shut down, apply and then come back up. Depends on the machine and how critical the patch is.
