In Debian 11 stable with KDE, why would uninstalling konqueror also remove libreoffice, xorg,etc? Why would it cause the installation of firefox-esr?

Need to get 55.5 MB of archives.
After this operation, 180 MB of additional disk space will be used.
When I
sudo apt autoremove
, it doesn't try to remove those "no longer needed" packages.
But when I try to remove konqueror, it says it will remove a whole lot of stuff that seems completely unrelated.
