What -- is the deal with reboots on Discover updates?

Requiring reboots to update system packages is intended behaviour for Gnome Software/Discover. Please see these posts for more discussion on this:

and this one too:

The solution here suggests that Discover has (or will have) an option to do “on the fly” updates.
