I don’t quite understand what’s so surprising here. “Space on disk” and “size” haven’t matched in the longest time. If you’ve ever seen a folder with thousands of sub-4KB files when space mattered you certainly know this (and I’m not that old)
Here I just see great size optimizations that I’d expect from a modern OS, which sometimes can be more complex than what one saw in the 90s, and can’t be expected to make sense without being a magician.
Does it make sense to see a file on my computer when it’s really just stored on the cloud? How can my 64gb phone have a 500gb photo library? I see no difference here, but this has been common for the past decade.
