Yes, but what exactly requires reboot after the installation? If I install vagrant I probably want to use it, therefore, regardless of the possibility to decline to reboot, I must reboot anyway. I just want to understand if there is a real, technical reason for rebooting the machine.

The reboot is required to ensure the user has a correct setup. Reboot can be declined if desired.
