This only happens when you install from live media, not the DVD or
netinstall.

Anaconda is installed into the live environment so it can be used to
perform an installation, and installation from live media is done with
rsync because there are no RPM files around. So anything and everything
installed on the live media makes it to the installed system, including the
installer.

It is updated occasionally in stable releases with bugfixes for the live
media respins [1] and various cloud/container/VM images (which are built
using anaconda kickstart files even if they don't need an installer
themselves).

You can remove the package after installation if you would like.
