A pro could have been an extra narrative about carbon footprint savings.

I'm surprised it hasn't been raised when talking about saving 2Tb/year only for React. It represents costs, which doesn't seem to be an issue, but also computing power and storage. (Event with a higher/longer computing power due to slower compression, it's done once per version, which isn't really comprable to the amount of downloads anyway)

Hard to calculate the exact saving, but it would represent a smaller CO2 footprint..
