I've submitted https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Stop_pulling_dependencies_for_static_libraries to improve the situation.

Sorry, I don't get the question, these are devel packages, not runtime
libraries, these dependencies of dependencies are already pulled if I
install gtk3, but code that only links with GTK3, only needs gtk3-devel
to be built, the others devel packages are only needed if my code links
to them directly.You intentionally (or not) didn't reply to my comment on this. Just look into gtk+-3.0.pc:Requires: gdk-3.0 atk >= 2.15.1 cairo >= 1.14.0 cairo-gobject >= 1.14.0 gdk-pixbuf-2.0 >= 2.30.0 gio-2.0 >= 2.49.4
Requires.private: atk atk-bridge-2.0 wayland-client >= 1.9.91 wayland-protocols >= 1.12 xkbcommon >= 0.2.0 wayland-cursor >= 1.9.91 wayland-egl epoxy >= 1.0 pangoft2 gio-unix-2.0 >= 2.49.4All those wayland and xkb stuff is needed only if you link to gtk statically. But since we don't ship static library, no one can use it anyway → those requirements are useless.The problem here is that they are auto-generated and I've proposed to improve that.-->
