And there was an article a few weeks back about how certain content creation tools (Adobe) stuff in lots of metadata into these assets by default.

Some of the MS teams were good about stripping those out for release, others, didn't seem to notice.

Well, to be fair, the metadata in those files amounted to 5 MiB over the whole of Windows, so while there is a little overhead, it won't make up a significant chunk.

Oh, I didn't see that part. That's not nearly as bad as I thought based on my reading of the original article.
