This is unfair argument from my point of view. When we deployed a 30 % improvement for fonts (woff to woff2), people argued that fonts is just a small part of websites. When we deployed a 30 % improvement for PNG-like images in WebP lossless, people argued that they are only a small part of the traffic. When we deployed a 15-30 % improvement for CSS, JS and HTML with Brotli people argued that those are only a small part of the web. When we deploy improvements to video, people argue that 'yes it is a lot of data, but it is buffered so people are not waiting and they care less than for other types of data'.
Let's review each technology within its scope.
