Really it that it does, it"s a shared library and those are not optional under 
linux, you can have a read about ELF e.g here if you are intested

Libraries are small and don't create real overhead, you probably have
binaries pulling other libs you don't want. GTK for example does pull in
libwayland and it's not optional either

Title:
  pulseaudio now depends on libsnapd-glib1 which recommends snapd

Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The latest update for pulseaudio (1:11.1-1ubuntu7.5) in bionic now has
  libsnapd-glib1 as a dependency.

  This is complete and utter nonsense. I do not want cascading
  dependencies that have no business being installed on the systems I
  manage.

  Please rectify this at once.
