Less on-topic, but why some GNOME-hosted libraries like libpeas are in

of the GNOME development platform. If officially it is not the case, in
practice it is, since by definition GNOME core depends on them.

Being hosted on gnome.org is not directly related to being part of the
GNOME development platform.

For non-GNOME-hosted libraries, then it makes sense to not include them
in the GNOME runtime, of course.

Not really, no. The runtime needs to be dependency-closed. Where
something is hosted does not really figure into this much. For
example, GTK+ depends on cairo (freedesktop.org), harfbuzz
(freedesktop.org), epoxy (github). All of these need to be in the
runtime for GTK+ to work.
