well, we do packaging, so it's not upstream issue. go ahead, prepare a request doing that (should be trivial). Not sure if it is seen as an issue though — btrfs is a default filesystem choice, so we probably want btrfs-tools around at all times.
If btrfs is installed, then btrfs-tools should be installed, that's expected - but if btrfs is not installed, it should be possible to uninstall btrfs-progs without breaking other packages (like gparted). User choice, etc. Granted, users don't always necessarily make wise choices, but I would hope that users who know enough to choose not to install a particular filesystem would know enough about their systems to understand the implications of that choice. Admittedly, though, ymmv on that one. :)

When upgrading tumbleweed, zypper complains about broken dependencies for gparted because it has a hard dependency on btrfs-progs, which I don't have installed (in fact, I have it blacklisted).
I do not run, nor do I ever intend to use btrfs on my machine, and I don't want btrfs-progs installed, but I still want to be able to use gparted.
Gparted should not care whether or not btrfs-progs are installed if I don't have any btrfs partitions. Surely btrfs-progs should be listed in recommends rather than dependencies?
