From what I can see, it just mentions at one part that xorg-apps is a dependency of xterm and would automatically come with it. "Note: "xorg-apps" will be automatically installed as a dependency of "xterm", but I assume that implicitly relying on this sub-dependency to continue to exist in the future would be less preferable than listing it explicitly."
