The problem isn't that reboots are bad (although they can be bad for hardware and software), but it is unnecessary for most of the updates and invite laziness.

Microsoft simply never cared for it more than they felt they have to. It's the attitude, which needs to be fought here.
Before you disagree, better explain why OSTree needs reboots and Swupd doesn't.
