It doesn't replace it with anything, it just considers it okay to
remove from the system, because we don't have any protected packages
that depend on setup. Technically, the basesystem package is supposed
to be protected, but it's not. If it was, then setup would not be
removable.

In Mageia, we have a package "mageia-dnf-conf" that adds additional
protected.d files for protecting core system components. We probably
need the same thing for Fedora.
