Except your users, they end up with your MBs.

I ship a Qt app. The installer is 135MB. 90MB of that is a demo video that comes with it. Nobody has ever complained.
yes, those poor users who end up with 70 megabytes to download, for something that comes with a large part of Qt, LLVM, libclang, multiple programming language implementation, support for plenty of network protocols... And I haven't even optimized what's inside the release package. ( https://github.com/OSSIA/score/releases)
