Emacs, for instance, needs various tools to build it, including a C compiler. Nothing wrong or unusual there.What alarms me about pdf-tools is that it tries to install those toolsitself rather than leaving the user in control of that step.
Mind you, pdf-tools does ask the user for permission first and it pops up a buffer where you can follow what is happening.
Honestly, as a user of pdf-tools, I'm glad this happen automatically if I choose to. Saves me from opening a shell and copy&pasting a bunch of commands.
