Two things:
* It was, but people mostly pretended that Linux was better than
Windows because the latter enforced it and the former didn't...
* When it wasn't, it was because everything was less complicated, in
a "you need to use a command line to mount a USB disk" kind of way.
I don't know if Linux needs to be rebooted after every update
If you use a distribution method such as flatpak, one that's entirely
designed to be safely live-updatable then rebooting is basically not
required. Deploying a graphical application using a system-wide RPM
package just doesn't make for an awesome user experience.
