People often complain that Fedora is not a user friendly distro. I
disagree but it certainly makes you jump hoops in order get something
done. This is a classic example of that. When other distributions and
operating system offer one-click graphical upgrade tool we don't even
ship a default upgrade mechanism. I started using Fedora 20 and I have
done clean installs for both F21 and F22. Among other reasons whenever
I have searched about how to upgrade Fedora I often end up with
outdated wiki or blog written for F16. In a nutshell, you have too
much information which leads to unnecessary confusion.

Are dnf or fedup not capable of ensuring that the upgrade tool is in
fact the latest version of itself?

Consider same scenario on Android or iOS

1. Search how to upgrade the system.
2. Download apk or install an app from Play Store.
3. Open the app and check if upgrade is available.
4. Upgrade.

Or

1. System asks you to upgrade when an upgrade is available.

Which one would you prefer?
