This is I think due to that (from man yum2dnf):

    CLEAN_REQUIREMENTS_ON_REMOVE ON BY DEFAULT
       The clean_requirements_on_remove switch is on by default in DNF. It can
       thus be confusing to compare the "remove" operation results between DNF
       and Yum as by default DNF is often going to remove more packages.

Try thus the (so simple :-( ) command instead:

  sudo dnf --setopt=clean_requirements_on_remove=no remove plexmediaserver
