The fact that macOS does trim only on reboot makes usually "dubious" advice of restarting the system when all feels sluggish to be true and factual. Longer uptimes do create more space that waits for reboot to be trimmed.

Usually people might think that this is a "windows-world-thing" but it is actually a thing on Mac because system does trim only on reboot.
