I'm a new developer. Why are devs obsessed with minimizing bundle sizes to an insane level? We live in a world where people download a 5gb update before playing a video game and web devs think 200mb is too much. Will it really be too much 10-20 years from now? They're building 5G towers and at the same moment devs are trying to get bundle sizes down to 30kb. It just doesn't make sense to me

I don't think this is applicable to everything but I think things like eCommerce are the most concerned. Google is going to use performance to inform their search results coming up soon. There is definitely pressure to deliver on small size and performance.
