That's a big honor for Falcon Heavy and a great win for SpaceX. Such a cool mission.

First Psyche, now Dragonfly! SpaceX and Falcon Heavy in particular are straight up carrying humanity’s understanding of space forward!

(Let’s not forget Ariane and JWST)

And Europa Clipper, Roman space telescope, and virtually all of the CLPS landers.

It's a nice win for sure, but is it unexpected? Are there any other operational launch vehicles which would even have the delta-V to get Dragonfly to Titan in a reasonable timeframe?
