That’s slippery slope. If you reason about performance in absolute terms, nobody will ever get things done. The reason we have electron apps is very much not because people are not shaving off 1.5MB off their binaries. This request to not use uv-build because of 1.5MB is just insane and out of touch for normal consumer hardware, and it only makes sense in the context of SPARC.


I have no idea why you would assume “bloat” is the result of a linear combination of reasonably sized packages when - whether you look at package size, lines of code, or file sizes on disk - you rarely find uniform distributions in real life.
It’s a lot more likely your “bloat” comes from a handful of packages or dependencies than tens of reasonably sized ones.
