Guix does not distinguish between "build time" and run time
dependencies.

That's not what native-inputs are used for. native-inputs provide
binaries that the host/build machine needs to run in order to compile a
package. It doesn't seem to be the case that wayland-protocols is such
a package, is it?

But it still impacts a large number of packages in ways that could
potentially break and haven't been tested, right? While reducing
closure size is generally a good thing, I think we do need to be
careful whenever "build time vs. run time" and native vs. non-native
are confused.
