I deeply care about performant and small apps. I definitely don't want to have 100GB+ games on my disk, 150MB+ Electron based messaging apps, Docker images with 1GB+ node_modules/ folders, or even worse, Docker images with 600MB+ of binaries (looking at Terraform and it's plugins.)
However, I care even more about having apps/tools that help me achieve the desired goals, in an easy, clear, and elegant way.
If having bigger apps means that developers have more time to implement or improve features, and solve bugs, I'm all for it.
On a tangentially related note. Apparently the huge game sizes are on purpose these days. With downloads and storage so fast and cheap the developers ship assets in a format optimized for the in-game experience instead of space savings. Better to use more space and reduce the initial startup and loading times.
Contrast this with a game like Detroit.. It took my system(5700 XT and 3950x) what seemed like nearly 30 minutes to arrive at the menu screen due to having to compile all the shaders and who knows what else. I'm sure there were other considerations there, but still..
