55 MB is an absolute fuckton.

For a native app of Windows Explorer kind that doesn't pack massive resources, 5-10 Megs is a reasonable size.

Heck, you are forgetting than something like 3D Studio MAX originially fit on a set of floppies and I can assure you it could do FAR more than "the Gallery app" whatever the heck that poor thing is.

on the other hand, just the splash screen image for whatever $modern app can be more than the space available a floppy since you need it normal size, @2x, @3x, it's in 32-bit RGBA instead of 256 color...

The fact that it needs a splash screen in the first place is because it takes too long to start because of bloat, so in a way it's a negative feedback cycle.

no, had to build a few apps where this was requested only for branding purposes.
