In terms of programming, absolutely some bloat there.
But I would wager a majority (or plurality) would actually be high(er) res media assets, embedded animations and video etc.
The only sector where that is applicable is games.
Tell that to my banking apps!
It's the ads.
I’d wager it’s the multilevel dependency of countless prebuilt components when devs are only going to use a small fraction of their capabilities.
I don't get paid to optimize, I get paid to implement features.
