This is exactly something that I am seeing with normal 3rd party 
packages (not base packages) for a very very long time - like many 
years) More on my desktop where I have about 1500 packages installed, 
but sometime on headless servers with about 200 packages.

Some unrelated packages are being installed as "required dependency" but 
can be deinstalled by "pkg autoremove" right after the "pkg upgrade".

I am really scared of the moving to pkg base with all these long 
standing issues and many new issues like removing all packages even with 
to loader required to be able to use BE. I think it is not mature enough 
(after all these years)

Kind regards
