> small bundle sizes

Space are not precious anymore. Nor is bandwidth.

BestBuy sells some Windows laptops with 64 GB eMMC. Space is precious on those. Chrome devices often ship with 16 GB; if Microsoft could make Windows viable at that size, they could push the absolute low end prices down a smidge and keep more users.

I get 60 Mbps down and an upgrade would be $50k. Bandwidth is relatively precious to me.

I would suggest that people are likely not attempting to use enterprise-grade collaboration software on these machines, so that's not a problem.

Except it's not enterprise-grade.

Both are very expensive on mobile.

Says who? A Surface Laptop 4 comes with a 256 GB SSD. And the Surface Pro 7 comes with a 128 GB SSD.

Something that's a resource hog will likely consume a lot of battery as well. That's a big deal for something you want running all the time.
