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.

This is common across a lot of Linux. I believe it first started with Fedora and now is pretty much everywhere except for a handful of distros. It is much better to do updates offline since there is a lower chance things will go wrong. You don’t need to do it this way but when you use gnome software this is what it does. I was unaware that Ubuntu supported this but apparently they do.
Ideally ostree based distros will take over since they can transparently swap the root FS on reboot but they are still fairly rare. I like Fedora Silverblue since I can easily roll back a bad update.
