You probably had "stable" or similar as your release identifier in
/etc/apt/sources.list, instead of an actual version name. Stable
became Buster, so to install a Buster package it had to upgrade
some parts to Buster (at least with GCC, which depends on lots of
other packages).

Or if you were deliberately trying to install Buster's version of
GCC, then you basically got what you asked for, at least according
to package manager logic.
