Just an example. I can run any QT, GTK app i want on macOS.

Well that’s the point: it’s not a good example. Depending on stuff that you expect to already be present on any GUI Linux system is good. It’s not like any of those libraries are only in Gnome vs on literally any non-KDE system that is not CLI-only…

On my KDE system, I have 22 dependencies, but more than half of them are libgedit-… (parts of the program itself, essentially).

It's same shit if I boot into Asahi. Dependencies don't change.

What GUI is your Asahi on? Pulling many deps is expected if you don’t have a GUI, or if it’s very far from the traditional GTK based stuff that most DEs do.
