Well, you'd download the entire stack indeed - but not every time. Your browser does caching too.

Plus, if it’s packaged as a PWA, it can run offline and seamlessly update the runtime in the background using a Web Worker.

It doesn't share the cache between the sites though. A local installation has only one runtime.
