It is Nettle's OpenSSL dependency that is causing the trouble. OpenSSL depends on Unistring and Unbound, and they bring in the extra gear.
That's for benchmarking only. It's supposed to be autodetected and used only if available on the build system, but you can also run configure with --disable-openssl to explicitly disable it.
I don't think copy/paste is going to take several hours. And a good CI pipeline should handle the testing for you. If you need hours of testing, then that probably points to a defect in the engineering process. The process has gaps where CI testing should occur.
You asked "Is there any reason you refuse to fix things?" (which is kind of provocative). I tried to answer honestly. I refuse to argue this further.
