Have the background tasks completely finished for the process here? Can check this in ACP -> System -> Dashboard -> Background Processes.

It didn't appear to even create a background task

Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention! I can confirm this should be further reviewed and I have logged an internal bug report for our development team to investigate and address as necessary, in a future maintenance release.

From what I can tell, this seems to be by design? Even deleting a forum in the admin panel has the same effect. Topics aren't considered children of a Forum, but a content item. Although there's a confirmation on deleting in the admin panel, there's no indication that all the topics will be left in limbo.

As mentioned, this is a bug. If you delete a forum and specify to move children, it should move topics. If you outright delete a forum and specify to delete its children, it should delete them too. It should not just orphan the topics.
