^^ This. Companies often don't care about app size, because the (potential) users that avoid their app for size and/or performance reasons, are not the ones with the fat wallets (or valueable data).

Read: company doesn't care about including a large % of potential audience. It only cares about including the users that are most easily turned into profit.

P.S.: maybe those companies are right. But it also means they're fishing in a small & crowded pond. There's a lot of untapped market out there if only a company would care to cater to it.

P.S.2: Things change, and people's circumstances change. Today's 'useless' user could be your company's most valueable asset tomorrow. Get 'm while you can.
