Collections are not created easily, and in particular not for
a single package - imagine what kind of explosion that would
mean if everyone wants a collection for its own package.
Furthermore, we do not track dependencies between packages
by now, mostly between collections. datetime2 is contained
in collection-latexextra, which already depends on collection-pictures,
which contains pgf.
That means, those who install collection-latexextra to get datetime2
will automatically get pgf, too.
Last but not least, checking datetime2.sty I don't see any reference
to pgfcalendar, the only RequirePackage calls are
\RequirePackage{tracklang}
\RequirePackage{etoolbox}
\RequirePackage{xkeyval}[2006/11/18]
pgf* is only used by datetime2-calc which is optional addon.
Thanks
Norbert
