I would be really surprised if the miner is contributing any major portion of that size. I just did a very basic search and a random miner I found has binary sizes <1MB

edit: apparently the actual game is based on https://github.com/gabrielecirulli/2048 which is HTML+JS, so probably the Snap was bundling in Chromium/Electron, which explains the size.
