According to https://release.debian.org/bullseye/essential-and-build-essential.txt (linked from https://release.debian.org/bullseye/freeze_policy.html) neither is (build-)essential. Just dpkg is, but neither apt nor gnupg. Which IMHO makes sense: You don't need apt for build-essential. And it's not essential either despite it regards itself as such when considering removing itself.
