I wonder if we're getting more and more programmers coming over from

Why are you being so difficult about this? Are you deliberately trying
to not understand? You *don't* have to reboot to do updates. You are
completely free to run dnf yourself and do live updates. That's what I
do most of the time, but I also tend to reboot after the updates are
finished. Just don't complain if something goes wrong when you do live
updates instead of doing them offline. As has been explained many times
here, it is very difficult to make live updates completely safe unless
maybe if you're using something like ostree. There are very few people
that think the time and effort to make live updates safe is worth it or
even possible. If you're so disturbed by this, then find another OS
that will let you do that if such a thing even exists. I can't think of
one. Windows, Mac OSX, and Android all reboot to do updates except
maybe for some minor ones.
