If you don't want the reboot, then just run "dnf upgrade" in a terminal.
Some time ago I read an answer on Ask Fedora that sounded perfectly
reasonable to me. [1]

In addition, I'm not a expert, but I think that the main audience that
developers had in mind, the main target of gnome software was the average
computer user, people uncomfortable with the terminal. Maybe yes, Windows
users that want to start using Linux.
For the others, we always have dnf too.
