Partially off topic but can you give a list of deps you installed to compile waybar I couldn't get it to work and the README only shows the ones for debian.

I used the dependencies specified in the template. xbps-src managed those, I did not explicitly installed them. With the build options enabled, these are the packages that are used:

hostmakedepends="cmake pkg-config glib-devel wayland-devel scdoc gobject-introspection"

makedepends="libevdev-devel libinput-devel wayland-devel gtkmm-devel spdlog eudev-libudev-devel
 gtk-layer-shell-devel jsoncpp-devel libglib-devel libsigc++-devel fmt-devel chrono-date-devel
 playerctl-devel upower-devel wireplumber-devel pipewire-devel libnl3-devel pulseaudio-devel
 libdbusmenu-gtk3-devel libmpdclient-devel sndio-devel jack-devel"

Oh I forgor xbps-src was a thing

[vulpes-vulpeos]

Maybe a stupid question, but why does this package also drag the wireplumber and playerctl packages?

I do not use pipewire and do not need the playerctl utility.
Waybar github also does not mention them in the dependencies list:

gtkmm3
jsoncpp
libsigc++
fmt
wayland
chrono-date
spdlog
libgtk-3-dev [gtk-layer-shell]
gobject-introspection [gtk-layer-shell]
libgirepository1.0-dev [gtk-layer-shell]
libpulse [Pulseaudio module]
libnl [Network module]
libappindicator-gtk3 [Tray module]
libdbusmenu-gtk3 [Tray module]
libmpdclient [MPD module]
libsndio [sndio module]
libevdev [KeyboardState module]
xkbregistry
upower [UPower battery module]

I can understand that Waybar components may need devel libraries (wireplumber-devel, pipewire-devel, playerctl-devel etc.), but I do not understand why it also drags utilities themself.

I can understand that Waybar components may need devel libraries (wireplumber-devel, pipewire-devel, playerctl-devel etc.), but I do not understand why it also drags utilities themself.

The devel packages are build time requirements, in the end you need the package that ships the shared library, which is wireplumber, pipewire and playerctl in this case.
What you are thinking of is splitting wireplumber into packages like libwireplumber which is currently not done.
