Yes, it cost more in bandwidth, CDN has to cache file on actual disks, the more used, the more you need

It cost more electricity to download, and users has to store file too, it causes bloat, and then system bloat if you also have to install it

So yes, file size, performance, bandwidth optimization, everything matter, EVEN MORE IN TODAY DAY AND AGE!

1000x disk increase only just for a GUI for dd is beyond useless, a pure egoist waste
