What;s the purpose of importing ruff crates directly as dependencies?

The main reason is that their recursive descent parser for Python ASTs was faster and more robust than the RustPython parser. They don't publish on crates.io (at least not when I added the dep) so we just use them as a git dependency through cargo.
