   Generally the kernal modules in mainline don't ask for a reboot but some of   
   them do when they deal with low-level system components like the art   
   runtime, the dns resolver, media frameworks, security libraries and other   
   core components which are deeply integrated into the operating system.   
      
   These reboots are generally much faster than a full Android OS update,   
   especially on devices with a/b seamless updates, because the new components   
   are already prepared on an inactive partition before the update happens.   
      
   However you can't disable google play system updates (mainline updates)   
   since these aren't updated by the oem or carrier and they're not like   
   regular packages that you can update manually. Google controls it. Not you.   
      
   You probably updated automatic system updates in developer options which   
   turns off the full android os updates but doesn't affect the kernal updates   
   of project mainline. Even if you're rooted, you can't turn off the mainline   
   updates so what you're disabling is something else than project mainline.
