Why were they forcibly installed in the first place??
Because they are "recommended" packages and our alpha1 solver likes
to make your system complete. As workaround edit /etc/zypp/locks and
put all packages in there you don't want to see.

It would be nice to have a global config to enable/disable automatic
install of recommended packages.

Absolutely. I also miss a commandline parameter to switch.
zypper has no option at all to handle that while with YaST you can at least remove the packages from the automatic selection when they are just "recommended".
