true, but i'd point out two things
one is that if you're not a novice (which you shouldn't be anyway if you're trying LFS) you can try to minimize the base system, with the understanding that it's probably going to require modifying ./configure flags and probably patching certain packages
the other is that the base LFS system is relatively minimal (compared to even the "server" flavor of mainstream distros), and BLFS divides dependencies into Required, Recommended, and Optional, and you can totally ignore the Optional dependencies
ultimately, what constitutes a(n) (un)necessary dependency depends on what you want to do with the system; you can consider GNU coreutils and glibc unnecessary and build a barebones kernel + musl + busybox, but if you want a desktop system or even a webserver with a modern framework, you're gonna have a bad time
