I've been evaluating most of these frameworks, and as far as I know Base UI is the smallest and lightest out of all these: https://bundlephobia.com/result?p=baseui@6.15.1

They're all still big and bloated (like including big sets of icons) but you should only only include what you're using. Tree shaking with webpack and babel and a css optimizer can trim them down significantly.
There's definitely still issues with that though. Try including one small component from material UI for example and the resulting bundle can still be quite significant because it bundles a lot to manage its theming.
