So check-update might be useful for some script, but it is not useful
command for common user. Not mentioning that man page basically says:
"Please  note  that  having a specific newer version available for an
installed package (and reported by check-update) does not imply that
subsequent dnf upgrade will install it. The difference is that dnf
upgrade must also ensure the satisfiability of all dependencies and
other restrictions". In other words, it says it is more or less
unreliable command.

If you want to reliable force an update to the newest packages,
use 'dnf upgrade --best'.

Except of people, who prefer not receiving updates/bugfixes and want to live with an outdated system, it's what everybody will want.
