You always have to reboot because the updates are done in a special boot
mode. This is to avoid any conflicts with running services or replacing
files out from under running applications.
If you don't like that, then you can run "dnf upgrade" from the command
line and take responsibility for any issues that might cause.
Personally, I've rarely run into any issues, but after a major update I
usually reboot anyway to get the new kernel. However, I'm quite happy
for the users I help to do it the reboot way with Gnome.
