if the 30KB library is already cached because everyone else is using it too, then isn't it technically smaller than however many hundreds of lines of code you had to custobuild?

Most modern browsers don't really have global caches any more, and it's now all partitioned per-origin.

I do agree 30k is hardly worth thinking about.

I think they are referring to loading it from a global CDN.

Yes, those aren't cached globally any more.
