Zypper gives a warning if you are about to do bad stuff with core system packages (apt does not do that), so if you aren't a complete moron you can get the message that what you are doing is bad and if you are just "updating the PC" you should fucking stop right now and figure out what's going on.
But it does not mindlessly enforce dependencies and allows you full control over the system.
Because really, I'm root, goddamnit. I can sudo cat /dev/zero > /dev/sda or sudo rm -Rf / (linux equivalent of Windows's "format C") and there is nothing in the OS that will stop me.
Compare this with the useless fucking garbage that is apt, that:
does not give any warning if the dependency list is completely screwed up and it's trying to delete core system components while also
enforcing dependencies like it's the last will of its dying son and refusing to let me fix issues or packaging errors without casting arcane spells involving dpkg.

Also, dpkg was not difficult to me, and you can fix most broken dependency problems with a click of a button in synaptic. Big difference I see with Arch (Artix) right now is that with pacman I haven't had to try to fix anything, all has worked to perfection. My past experiences with Arch were not as pleasant - hopefully its been getting better while I was away.

Red Hat car salesman: "the top speed is only 18 mp/h but it has a built-in muffin toaster, a roof-mounted foghorn and a urinal in the back."
You're just "clutching at straws".

On dnf performance: If you have any data such as benchmarks that demonstrates that issue, feel free to post that. Merely claiming something is not actionable.
