I quite often want packages that come as dependencies of other
software (simple examples are bzip2/unzip/etc which I use quite often
but I never install on their own, they come as dependencies to other
packages I install).

And I can imagine many a developer using libraries or buildtools that
came as dependencies to certain packages. Removing firefox because you
no longer use it probably shouldn't stop your own gtk+-based apps from
working.
