This makes perfect sense.

When are you supposed to run remove-retired-packages?
If you run remove-retired-packages after the upgrade, you already
managed to upgrade and nothing is broken, no?
If the upgrade was done with distro-sync with deletes allowed, then the
upgrade would have removed blocking packages. If just upgrade was used
then the retired packages might have blocked upgrading some packages.
Instead of checking retired packages, people might be better off running
dnf list --extras to get a list of installed packages that aren't in any
current repo they are using.
