This seems to only be required for building binary wheels, so it should not be a hard requirement.

FYI I hit this issue when trying to port setuptools-rust to buildroot due to cryptography starting to require rust, buildroot deliberately does not support binary python wheels as python packages are cross compiled from source.

👍 I agree that we should remove the hard dependency. Can you please add a CHANGELOG entry to this PR? I suspect a few users will need to update their build processes once this is released, so we should definitely notify them of this change.
