You are seeing gnome-shell launched as part of the gnome-session
package, which are probably both installed.

'dnf remove @gnome-desktop' doesn't remove gnome-session or
gnome-shell packages.  Group remove only removes packages that don't
already belong to another dnf group or weren't installed explicitly by
the user (the latter of which is probably happened in anaconda).
