Gnome is quite a bit the same way in this regard. Just switch out Qt for GTK+,

Not even close to the entire desktop environment, but definitely more than one
cares to install for one simple calculator. Arch gives me 56 packages total just
to install 'kcalc', which include mostly xcb-*, qt6-*, libraries, Qt themes, and
gui related stuff I don't have installed. This is on a system with no
GUI/DE/WM/X/Wayland installed whatsoever.
The meta "plasma" package wants to install 482 packages, but I completely get
your annoyance about it all. I'd rather pull out a pocket calculator than
install all of that crap. :)
Regards,
Nick
