I find that this package doesn't actually require setuptools at runtime, so I assume it was listed by mistake when it should only have been a build-time requirement.

to be clear; only this part is problematic, setup_requires is fine in itself, but it's still redundant with pyproject.toml and should not be needed at all with python_requires = >=3.7
