You can disagree all you want, the source of setup makes it pretty clear that all packages in category Base must always be installed, regardless of any other choices the user made. And that's in fact what the GUI does too (it goes through exactly the same code path), only that you're later able to deselect the "binary" package without setup checking for whether you do this on a Base package (note you can't uninstall or skip a Base package, so that you can defeat this via other means is the bug I was talking about).
