openSUSE Leap 15.3 Released - Built Using Same Binary Packages As SUSE Linux Enterprise

Yeah, wtf. Fedora's package manager. I tried it in Fedora 20, and I don't get why anyone would want it over zypper, unless I'm outdated.

Not outdated. I don't think there's a good reason other than "I want to".
So if someone really wants to, why stop them? :-)

What is dnf used for in suse?

zypper doesn't support parallel package download. if you have a good network bandwidth dnf would be nice on some cases.

dnf is much faster than zypper.

dnf is much faster than zypper.

I believe a phoronix shootout would solve this

I switched recently from OpenSUSE to Fedora and dnf is a lot(!) faster!

I am not obsessed with updating speed, also in Leap there are few updates and zypper usually takes a few seconds. The reason why DNF is there is just to give an additional tool, perhaps to those used to DNF.
Yes, however Leap remains one of the most solid distributions I have ever tried, but I use a lot more Tumbleweed than I have in dual boot.
Congratulations to the openSUSE team for this release.
