Failure to install extension dependency does not lead to overall install failure

I used today’s nightly to install SlicerIDCBrowser extension. When trying to load DICOM segmentations I downloaded from IDC using that extension, I realized that QuantitativeReporting extension, which is its dependency, is not installed (the underlying issue is being tracked here, if anyone is interested: https://github.com/Slicer/ExtensionsIndex/issues/2041#issuecomment-2075485309).

Is this the correct behavior? I would expect the installation of an extension to fail if any of its dependencies are not available.
