The list might be useful. Unfortunately, it doesn't show the reasons for the
removals.
Did you not see that it was going to remove all those packages before you told dnf to go
ahead?
I don't have ssmtp installed and I have google-chrome-stable installed, so it
definitely
isn't a direct dependency. But I think I know why. Do you have sendmail or postfix
installed? All those packages probably require a mail sending program and you removed
the one that is installed by default. If I try to remove postfix, then dnf says it will
remove chrome as well.
FWIW, not my experience.
[root@f29bk ~]# rpm -q google-chrome-stable ssmtp postfix
google-chrome-stable-75.0.3770.100-1.x86_64
ssmtp-2.64-22.fc30.x86_64
postfix-3.4.4-3.fc30.x86_64
[root@f29bk ~]# dnf erase postfix
