%check dependencies are fine. Even systemd pulls in dbus-daemon (or at least did in the past) to test dbus interoperatibility. But this doesn't mean that it should be required in normal installations. (And I don't the goal is to retire dbus-daemon. It remains the reference implementation, and I hope it remains available in Fedora, as long as it is supported upstream.)
