It's perfectly fine if apport and python3-apport are installed by default.
But I don't see how xserver-xorg actually depends on python3-apport. To quote 
from the Ubuntu Policy Manual:

"""
The Depends field should be used if the depended-on package is required for the 
depending package to provide a significant amount of functionality.

The Depends field should also be used if the postinst, prerm or postrm scripts 
require the package to be present in order to run. Note, however, that the 
postrm cannot rely on any non-essential packages to be present during the purge 
phase. 
"""
Can you please clarify how this applies?
