And a number of other common configurations for e.g. a Fedora system set
to automatically apply security updates in the background.

Except that those "configurations" have what's called "pre" and "post" RPM scripts, have you heard of them? … which can be used to reset the application, so that it knows that it's been updated.

Is it really so difficult to see the difference, here?

If you tell me how an app can be notified that prelink is about to rewrite it, then this would be a comparable situation. But it's not.
