>vector tiles can be infinitely precise but can end up transferring way more data. "way more" - not likely, if it's an apples to apples comparison. Obviously there are extreme cases where tons of data is being shipped to the frontend that is not being used for anything. The big advantage of vector tiles in practice is not needing any kind of tile rendering server in the background. You just generate your vector tiles (quick) then serve them straight up (easy). Simpler architecture and lower costs.
