We added the packages as optional "pip" packages (see https://deploy-livedoc--sagemath.netlify.app/html/en/developer/packaging#package-types for the terminology), each more than 1 year ago.

Various standard packages in the Sage distribution already declare pytest in "dependencies_check" as a conditional dependency for use when SAGE_CHECK=yes is set. By making pytest a standard package, I would hope to help revive the effort to make Sage compatible with pytest, largely stalled after 2022 as the main author shifted his focus to other modes of impact on Sage development. This is part of a larger effort to "adopt mainstream Python testing/linting infrastructure" (see https://github.com/sagemath/sage/issues/28936). The other pytest_* packages are related technical packages. "python_build" (a.k.a. pypa/build) is the current standard front-end for making source distributions and wheels from a Python source tree. It has replaced the deprecated practices of calling "setup.py sdist" or "setup.py bdist_wheel" directly. We already use it for building the modularized distribution packages. Making it a standard package will allow us to modernize the build infrastructure of the Sage library.
