I'm pretty sure installing recommends is Debian's default. I remember it
changing, and dug up this 2007 announcement of the fact...

https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2007/08/msg00000.html

I also have as the very first step in my personal notes for installing
Debian instructions to disable that...

        Create /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20norecommends containing
        
        APT {
        	Install-Recommends "false";
        };
