And then if you want to change a value at runtime you have to restart the executable?

Most web application servers work this way. It also works really well in practice using modern CD tools - update your configuration and perform a gradual rollout of all your application servers to reflect the updated configuration.
people will argue crazy sht here on HN like changing schedule is a thing* that needs instant gratification and god forbid you have to bounce a service to read an updated configuration … :)
I have to deal with this at work for rolling db credentials, actuator refreshes are fine for this purpose.
Would be nicer if we could handle creds like it wasn't 1992, but this does the job too.
