The backend adds the wheel dependency automatically:
The setuptools package implements the build_sdist command and the wheel package implements the build_wheel command; the latter is a dependency of the former exposed via PEP 517 hooks.
Listing it explicitly in the documentation was a historical mistake and has been fixed since in pypa/setuptools@f7d30a9.
