This is a part of the misconceptions about it.
It doesn't meaningfully help with that unless much harder constraints are applied in development where it would become relevant at run-time. It can be relevant for low-storage machines however. That's what binary size is primarily about after all. And low-storage and low-memory may go hand in hand at times as device properties.
See the link in my other comment.
To be clear - I'm referring to devices with, say, 128MiB of device storage and memory when I refer to low memory machines (which I've developed for before actually). If you've got storage in the GB, then there's no way optimizing for size matters lol.
And for it to be a worthwhile saving in low memory or storage situations, further constraints need to be met too. For instance, you would need to compile your own standard library, or go fully no-std...
