It takes 13 GB to build yourself the entirety of Chromium, this is has no right to be anywhere close.

I went to the matter web site and followed the instructions to install the SDK on a raspberry pi. I didn’t measure how much space it took but it installed dozens (hundreds?) of packages; it is extreme bloatware.
