Why would end users don’t care if there are a million other people getting a bit larger download size..? Accounts payable might care, but they aren’t end users.

2% file size reduction is probably an over optimization for a new startup searching for their first users.
But for an established product with substantial traffic, swapping out a js minifier for one that achieves even single digit % compression improvement seems worthwhile to me - if the only downside is adding a few extra seconds to build time.
