The sad part is, it could be cut very easily cut down to ~60MB with basic optimization & compression (heck, even gzip/brotli compression alone would go a long way): https://twitter.com/RReverser/status/1494435774003093515

Impressive feat, but I'm worried this small detail ruins the first impression for way too many.

Damn, you are 100% on point. I assumed it already had the optimizations applied and it was big just because of the nature of the app.

Once they get their server bill perhaps they will reconsider optimizing it!
