AFAIK this is exactly the point of Recommends. Not all situations require the package, and the user must change the defaults to not get the dependency installed.
To me "alacritty (literally) crashes on X11 without libxkbcommon-x11-0" reads much more strongly than "not all situations require the package". One can very well argue that not having libxkbcommon-x11-0 installed with X11 is an unusual situation, and I agree, but the solution then is finding out what component of the stack is missing the dependency and adding it there.
