That at least explains the behavior, and makes sense I guess. But I'd
actually like it to really install all "recommends", for all packages I have

This Perl script won't do the installs for you, but it should give you a
look at what you might end up installing if you do want all of the
recommended packages for every installed package:
#!/usr/bin/perl
my @installed = grep /\binstall$/, `dpkg --get-selections`;
@installed = map +(/^(\S+)/)[0], @installed;
my $rx = join ('|', map quotemeta, @installed);
