You don’t have to reboot after updating Debian (and most mutable distros I think?) packages, you just need to restart the updated software/software using updated libraries.
The easiest way to achieve this is of course to reboot, but it’s not required at all.
What I was specifically referencing there though is that Linux distro upgrade installers universally suck AFAIK. They break left and right and when they do they basically take out the system. Otherwise, Windows’ behavior there does suck a fair bit
They both require a restart.

Windows also does most of its updating silently while handling its major version upgrades a lot more elegantly.
When you are neck-deep in a (possibly mult-day) project where a restart would lose your place, I wouldn’t really call this ‘elegant’…
Yes, saving is definitely not a thing in any app…

Usually only for kernal revisions on Linux.
