Oh wow, yeah. Looks like the culprit here is google/apiclient-services which provides a fat client for EVERY google API [1]

In classic google monorepo culture, thats one package for all the things. A great example on how not to structure your SDK.

So yeah, you are right. Thats a lot of code if you only use like 0.25% of it.

I liked what jQuery UI does. It provides a web based configurator to choose what components you want to use and then you download a custom file with only those components. Really useful Avoid wasteful loading of code you are never going to use.
