Hello...
I was reading "Arch Wiki" and felt curious about that difference
between extra and community repo.
Some packages, such as "meson" is in the "extra" repo, whereas "ninja"
is in "community" repo. The interesting fact is that - is an implicit
dependency to "meson". So why that is (ninja) in the community repo?
A more important question is why meson and ninja are not in [core] and base
group given that they are build-dependencies of systemd?
Cheers,

Probably because they're only make depends like you said. So in a user's
system make depends are not needed to install packages nor do they provide
any use.
But I thought [core] was supposed to be self-contained, or it only used to be?
Cheers,.
From a user's perspectvie they are self contained. Arch is a binary
distro, the user does not need to mess with make depends.
