Unless there's some other way that still works these days to do that, removing this depenency will break the desktop icon. That depends on either systemd or elogind, which AFAIK, are already requirements for any of the supported desktops. Then again, if policykit-1 is already installed in all of the desktops, the depenency may be redundant? On the other hand, if it is redundant, then how will removing it help you? If it isn't redundant, then what configurations will break because they don't have policykit-1 and so launching gparted from the desktop icon will fail?
