Just found multiple of these “Scheduled Actions” in my WordPress back-end. All of them are from Spectra, the Gutenberg plugin from Brainstorm force, the creators of the Astra theme.
Trying to cancel any of these actions cancels the specific action but also simultaneously creates another one, exact same. Therefore, the actions aren’t really cancelled.
This goes away if I deactivate the plugin.
It doesn’t seem normal to me, especially “analytics\_count”, that raises my suspicion even more.
Especially because I’ve not observed this with other Gutenberg plugins.
Am I overthinking, or is something sneaky going on here?

Yes, yes you are.
The plugin created scheduled action because it needs to run a re-occurring task. A developer is not going to go through the hassle of writing code for WP CRON to perform an action that is unnecessary.
If you do not trust a plugin then remove the plugin.
