It seems like the fundamental issue is tradeoffs between compile-time and run-time efficiency. During development in almost every compiled language, it would make sense to have minimal cached, shared object (or shared intermediate) code in most use-cases while globally compiling and optimizing for releases. Invoking every run-time optimization and recompiling everything during development or first package installation makes zero sense because it's a waste of time. Also, shared common package library units for releases by default shrinks binaries rather than having zillions of exhaustive, slightly-different combinations of similar structures and machine code hoarding space in binaries. I've never understood how 300 MiB binaries would ever be acceptable to anyone, especially going against decades of shared libraries that reduced binary sizes and memory usage. Deliberate waste is never acceptable because there is no free lunch.
