Imagine the environmental impact of downloading all dependencies in a large project every CI run? and running it every commit of a pr? sometimes totalling in multi gigabyes. Crazy.

If your going to apply that logic, take a closer look at a lot of build chains out there.

This is whataboutism.

There is no way Apple's own development process was so wasteful as the waste they will bring to the millions of their own users.

If anything, the moment a company notices waste it goes towards reducing it.
