Because "dnf5 install" also searches arguments for files in /usr/bin and
/usr/sbin paths. gnuradio packages /usr/bin/gnuradio-companion.

This feature is not well-documented. One can find a notice in DNF5-SPECS(7):

    <package-spec> matches NEVRAs the same way  <package-name-spec>  does,
    but  in  case  matching NEVRAs fails, it attempts to match against
    provides and file provides of packages as well.

But there is missing a notice that in addition to file provides, it also
searches for files in the the two directories.

Because --whatprovides searches for an absolute file name
(/usr/bin/gnuradio-companion). I also find this asymmetry counterinuitive.
