arch seems pretty essential and it's still at 107m. hardware is complex, no way around it.

I'm not familiar with linux, but is arch platforms support for a bunch of different archs - x86, x86_64, arm, arm64, and many more come to mind.

As sibling pointed out, to be fair you'd want to somehow restrict arch/ down to one only architecture.
