Well, then again, many other package managers don't either. For instance XBPS and Pacman.

EDIT: I'm wrong, see below.

From the ArchWiki:

> To remove a package and its dependencies which are not required by any other installed package:

> # pacman -Rs package_name

> To remove a package, its dependencies and all the packages that depend on the target package:

> # pacman -Rsc package_name

Pacman can remove dependencies that are not used: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman/Tips_and_tricks#...

This is explicit rather than implicit but it works even on one package.

But they do? (e.g. xbps-remove -R/--recursive <pkgname>)
