The gnome-software application decided to take the approach to restart the computer, to ensure the update takes effect. I'm not entirely sure , but if it is no kernel-update then you will not be enforce to restart.
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.
