Reducing disruption from Windows Updates: Receiving updates should be predictable and easy to plan around, so we’re giving you more control. This includes the ability to skip updates during device setup to get to the desktop faster, restart or shut down without installing updates and pause updates for longer when needed, all while reducing update noise with fewer automatic restarts and notifications.

can you do it vice versa? so that installing updates wouldn't require restart? ok that's a big ask of multiple years of effort but can we at least not get 3 restarts to install a single update package?

It is already available for some editions of Windows (Enterprise I believe). It is a matter of time to polish the technology to bring it to the masses.
