dbus is a server which applications use to talk to each other. Lots of applications started using it because it served their needs. dbus integration makes things go smoother since everybody else is already using it. The systemd NTP client is just another NTP client like any other you'd install. What could possibly make other parts of the system require that this specific service is running when it doesn't interact with applications?

This seems to suggest you don't even need dbus daemon running to have things working: https://people.debian.org/~stapelberg/docs/systemd-dependencies.html https://people.debian.org/~stapelberg/docs/systemd-dependenc... just using the library doesn't seem bad to me...
