It's an annoyance factor. When I have to shut down the X11 session, I can as well reboot. There's enough software that can not reasonably be run within tmux. It's like having to entirely clear out your fridge and/or freezer every couple days because it needs to be rebooted, and then putting everything back in. Who would put up with that?
