Fedora/GNOME prefers to install updates during a reboot. So although most updates can work this way, it's not always the case.
There are some minor cases where a reboot is better, or where an update requires a bit of work. E.g. Firefox updates, but also I sometimes have that video playback suddenly breaks (not sure why; kernel/mesa/something). Only a reboot seems to fix the video playback and it happens in various applications once it breaks (Firefox, mpv). I install the updates via dnf via cron/systemd (forgot what I did), so not with the suggested reboot and so on.
I do appreciate the Flatpak bits, those update easily.
