The battle is fought over performance and size, I think that's exactly what the user wants.

  I don’t think the typical user cares about size.

    I agree. In over 20 years I've never had a single user ask or complain about the size of the app. They have let me know when there was something not working right though.

      People definitely notice speed and performance. They won’t complain about it generally, sure… but there’s plenty of data and case studies on the fact that users care https://nitropack.io/blog/post/web-performance-matters-case-studies https://nitropack.io/blog/post/web-performance-matters-case-...

        >People definitely notice speed and performance. There's sort of a "Maslow's Hierarchy of User Needs" that exists in software though. So long as the user can do something, and their immediate needs are met, performance concerns are just a small annoyance. And generally they will continue to ask for more features rather than performance improvements as long as the app remains usable.

      Well then you've never seen poor people uninstalling apps from their cheap smartphones because they need to install and use a different one ;-) that you don't see it doesn't mean it's not there
