I think the reason that systems have stopped preferring online updates is that this is inherently not scalable to all the crazy software out in the wild, when Debian had a few hundred or a thousand packages then online upgrades could be tested but with todays wide software ecosystem, there will always be flakiness and unreliability in the online upgrade model, which is why offline upgrades like ChromeOS or fedup or Windows or OSTree are being implemented more widely
