I agree with you, although one thing worth pointing out is that with Qt (or similar) application frameworks on any decent operating system, you only have to download those libraries once, which means the individual overhead of an application remains extremely low.
For example, the LXQT default terminal, qterminal, comes in a package that is only 200 KB on Arch Linux, for the entire thing. (To be fair it directly depends on a library that provides a terminal widget, which is another 200 KB.)
