The GitHub image is 86GB and people want an action VM to start reasonably quickly, so a full copy for every run isn’t going to work so well.
As a side note, isn’t it nuts that GHA operates on a principle of “installing the universe” (and apparently the universe is 86GB) and updating about every week, and it’s not total chaos? I was surprised, but it seems to work.

I was surprised, but it seems to work. As someone who has authored a GitHub Action to delete like 85% of the hodge-podge stuff blasted all over in a default runner image to free up more space for a Nix store. It's "nuts" indeed.
