Even though I actually agree with your main points, I regularly upgrade my Nvidia drivers on windows and it definitely does not need a reboot to do so.

They did say "install" rather than "upgrade". I have an Nvidia GPU in my work laptop running Fedora, and I often upgrade my system without rebooting or restarting Sway. Now I'm not sure that I actually am using the new drivers until I reboot, but that doesn't matter to me, and I suspect it doesn't matter to most people.
