The only environments where self-contained deployment matters are the ones you mentioned: browser, mobile phone, and also desktop. So yes, 45mb is a big difference (actually my app is 250mb).

In the .NET context, browser-targeted deployments can have a minimal download overhead of around 2 MB, which is a far cry from 50 MB. How? Blazor. For details, see https://blog.ndepend.com/blazor-internals-you-need-to-know.

That's 2Mb front-end which is quite heavy.

How 2 MB could be considered heavy, when visiting most websites results in much larger sizes of downloaded resources?

tell that to websites auto-playing videos (in muted state) or even better, using videos as page background that play without interop.
