I’ve been around for a while and this is the first time I’m seeing something like this. I’m wondering if I picked up something nasty or if this is something that other people are seeing.

Fedora does this too, it’s really obnoxious.
Yeah fedora does it even for small updates, not just kernel updates. But only if you update through the store.
In KDE at least there’s a toggle to switch that behaviour. It’s in System settings -> Software update -> Apply system updates. If you switch it to “Immediately” you get the standard package manager behaviour. Not sure if gnome has an equivalent.
Also RHEL-based distros (tested on AlmaLinux). I think it’s alright.
It’s just unnecessary, Debian based doesn’t do this at all so updates are like 10x faster.
