This has been discussed repeatedly on devel@, so just to summarize the end result: the decision is that reboots are required when updating any RPM package. The reboot requirement can be avoided for desktop applications by switching to Flatpaks instead.
I think that's a fine approach, but in order to do that, we need to get serious about Flatpacking all of the desktop applications we ship — no just leaning on it as a technology for third-party apps on Fedora.
