As was everybody who ever complained about the "minimal" install option

Though a Fedora installation with yum + rpm isn't "truely minimal",
it's
the minimal install to keep an installation usable/maintainable.
Which is useful to some, too fat for others.
And yes, the fact yum pulls in python is a real problem on small
systems. Even worse are the system-config-* tools, most of which pull in
many more packages and don't even work without X.

Probably because you haven't been on the front line, taking the bug
reports, talking to users at events, trying to tweak the targets to
match expectation and continually failing because there is no singular
expectation.
