What do you mean by 'system'? Android apps update online just
fine.
Fedora does not have this distinction betwen apps and core system:
it's just a bunch of packages. I think it is a mistake to require
reboot for _every_ update, even though, as you say, even user apps
sometimes _cannot_ be updated online (*). I am comfortable with
online updates, and I take more drastic action---restart apps and/or
reboot---only when I actually see problems.
This is one of the reasons we _might_ want to consider delivering most
user apps as Flatpaks (and server apps as containers).
