If you are using "apt install" then the packages under Build-Depends are not installed at all, only those under Depends, and, because they are needed for the program to work, those are not uninstalled after installation. If you are using "apt build-dep" then you are specifically requesting APT to install packages lised under Build-Depends. Hope this clarifies everything. Best regards.
