There are good reasons to do this that have been discussed many times.
If you don't want the reboot, then just run "dnf upgrade" in a terminal.
Some time ago I read an answer on Ask Fedora that sounded perfectly reasonable to me. [1]
"The basic point is this: updates without reboots can be unpredictable. [...]
It’s an overly-paranoid solution, granted. [...]"
In addition, I'm not a expert, but I think that the main audience that developers had in mind, the main target of gnome software was the average computer user, people uncomfortable with the terminal. Maybe yes, Windows users that want to start using Linux.
For the others, we always have dnf too.
