I'd say you've misunderstood how comps groups work, because all the
packages are tagged as optional, which means people need to use an
obscure option to a kickstart or dnf to install them. If you indeed
want a normal 'dnf groupinstall neuron-modelling-simulators' or
'@neuron-modelling-simulators' in a kickstart to install all the
packages, they should be set to 'default' or 'mandatory', not
'optional'. The difference between 'default' and 'mandatory' is that if
a package is listed as 'mandatory', it *must* remain installed for dnf
to consider the group as 'installed'. If it's listed as 'default', it
will be installed by default when the group is, but can be removed
without the group being considered to have been removed.
