Well, yeah and everybody is reading the complete output of yum/dnf if
it's trying to remove hundreds of packages?

Well, yeah.  First, if you think you are removing a leaf or minor
package and the package manager lists 100+ dependent packages, you
should take notice and perhaps re-think what you are trying to do.
Second, if you decide you want to continue, you should look over the
list of packages to be removed.

It isn't just remove/erase operations. Updates can be problematic for kernels. distro-sync can also remove some packages while updating or downgrading others and that might catch some people by surprise.
