Am I doing something wrong then when I did not have to do any cleanup

As a side issue, I might be treading on thin ice here, I have never done
any of the post-install processes on any version of Fedora. Until I saw
references to them in this list when I was on F39, I didn't know they
existed to even go looking for them.
I did one try dnf autoremove and that wanted to remove half my system,
so I abandoned that process, and issuing it now wants to remove 299
packages, some of which look to be old from their names, but how do I
know whether they are actually redundant or whether I am using something
from them. For example, it wants to remove package f36-backgrounds-
gnome, how do I know whether I am using a background from that package
hence should not be removed?

I have never done any of those post-install processes.

Not even 'rpmconf' to merge .rpmnew files?

No. That's one that might be worthwhile to do, but I generally only look for those if I notice it or something isn't working.
