So this is very specifically for things like games with large binary assets?

No, large companies using monorepos will have repos much bigger than Linux even without large binary assets. Apparently Linux has ~10 commits per hour. I probably do ~10 commits per week. So a team of ~150 mes produces commits at a fast rate than Linux. Very rough estimate but it takes less than you'd think.

Also if you vendor a few dependencies that quickly increases the size.
