I know that most domestic refrigerators use compressor motors with low starting torque, so pressures have to equalize between the high side and the low side for the compressor to start. This takes some time, given the capillary tube between the high sie and the low side. Now suppose the compressor has just cycled off, and then the homeowner loads up the refrigerator with warm food. How does the compressor "know" not to attempt to start up again right away? This could be accomplished by insulating the thermostat bulb, but then the refrigerator would be much less responsive to temperature changes in the refrigerator, leading to great temperature swings within the compartment.
