Description:
The manual documents that the server must be restarted after using
mysql_upgrade:

"After running mysql_upgrade, stop the server and restart it so that any
changes made to the system tables take effect. "

https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/mysql-upgrade.html

Since MySQL 8.0 has the RESTART command, it would be natural and easy to
implement behavior to have mysql_upgrade restart the server
automatically by executing the RESTART command as a part of the upgrade
procedure.

That would also be more user-friendly, see bug #79783, for example.
