Yes, I understand that the proposed solution was to 'zypper rloc en_US', 
however that doesn't address the what I said about the installation process.

During installation it asks you to select your language to which I 
selected "English (US)" there is no option to just select "en".

In Yast2 / System / Languages it has "English (US)" selected just like 
during the install, however, there is also no option to just select "en".

So the installation process creates this situation with 2 locales 
specified ( not the end user ) which seems to result in zypper wanting 
to pull in all these other language packages.

Assuming one did 'zypper rloc en_US', I wonder what Yast2 would display 
for the language since "en" by itself is not in the list ???
