What if we make all these apps obsolete with < 1mb options. 100 tools < 100mb.

  That only nerds will use because the UI is only ASCII art on a black terminal screen?

    Have you never used fully native software? All UI code is in the system DLLs that are already loaded with the OS so you can have a nice GUI program with no fuss and no extra memory requirements besides the little code your app requires. See Nirsoft utilities for an example.

  I miss lightweight tools so much. Even on Linux, opening some apps feels slow and sluggish, maybe because of Snap or Flatpak containerization, I don't know.

    It is a breath of fresh air to run older applications like pcmanfm or xfe or xfwrite in comparison to flatpak and snap applications. flatpak's on-the-fly decompression of a file tree to run the app doesn't help its performance.
