Do all those packages strongly require it? Or do they just need to drop
the dependency now?

Because the server side was removed 11 years ago:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/commit/22e64108ec63ba77779891f8df237913ef9ca731
so any client support is unusable dead code, unless you're still running
an Xserver older than Xorg 1.6.
