Yes, of course, that's right. But I don't think it has
anything to do with whether xclock should be added as a
dependency to xinit, just because xclock is mentioned as
an example in the xinitrc template.
By the way, the template also references quite a lot of
other tools (xrdb, xmodmap, xterm, twm). None of them is
a dependency of xinit. And rightly so. The contents of
the default xinitrc are just an *example*; it's intended
to be customized.

Right. I think if someone uses xinit, he should configure
his xinitrc appropriately. Is really anybody seriously
using twm + xterm + xlock nowadays?!?
Best regards
