That sounds like a lot more effort and time than just downloading 95gb.

Depends where you live. For me, 95gb takes a couple hours. For my friend in Kentucky, it takes at least a week

It's probably not additive. If you bought and installed the game fresh only after the release of the patch, I'd guess the total download size would be well under 95GB. Game patches aren't known for being well optimised binary diffs with minimal download size.
