I continue to advocate for hard download limits on the browser side that can only be overridden by scary user prompts. The defaults can be slightly larger for pages classified as “apps”, or certain file formats (e.g. when a link’s purpose is to download an entire app) but generally pages should be constrained to sizes on the order of kilobytes. As long as the floodgates can simply stay open and pages can download whatever they want, coders will remain lazy. This isn’t surprising at all.
