I installed nvidia on 10.1 using tiny-nvidia-installer, and it wanted to
download some kernel sources. What that would do to the system I can
only guess, as I interrupted installer, installed and updated SUSE
kernel sources and run installer again. This time although I forgot to
prepare kernel sources, installer did that for me, and installation was
successful.

That is reason to ask for gcc. I know how to handle this, but new to
Linux will get lost, and we will have to handle a lot of help requests
from them.

You know that I'm against bloat, but in this scenario loading gcc with
  kernel sources is needed. The other option to handle this is to
instruct tiny-nvidia-installer to give message with options, and if user
select installation to install prerequisites.

Another option is weak dependency, as Christian mentioned, but I haven't
seen recently packages that will be installed to satisfy dependencies
and have check box enabled, which would be sign that I can remove them
from selection.
