Once a user gets their computer running on Fedora, is there any reason to keep anaconda and its associated dependencies ?
Is there any reason to delete it ?
Is there any reason to update it everytime it updates ?

No. Not anaconda as it is for installing fedora, but some of its dependencies might be used by other programs you do want around. As I found below, there were no dependencies when I tried to remove it.

No. It doesn't take much disk, and the effort to delete it is effort. I just tried it, and there were no dependencies, and the space saved showed as zero.

No, but in the grand scheme of updates, this is hardly noticeable. One firefox or office-libre update probably does for a lifetime of anaconda updates. If space or download bandwidth is critical for you, and you are of Ben Franklin's persuasion, and believe a penny saved is a penny earned, then your answer would be yes. Or, if your philosophy is 'just take care of the pennies, and the dollars take care of themselves', you would answer yes.

Nope

A slight amount of disk space I suppose.

Not really.
