Yes, conda packages usually come with batteries included which means 
packages come with their
optional build time dependencies installed. That's usually not a big deal 
for other packages, but
Sage is special in that it has tons of dependencies.


I haven't checked the details for conda, but from what I see on some 
distros, I think there are a few particular packages that cause this:
- our use of libgd (see https://github.com/sagemath/sage/pull/35477) that 
pulls in a huge set of (unused) graphics libraries
- our use of CAS packages that are not separable from their GUI components 
(in particular GIAC)
