The Windows installer is 1/3 the size of the Mac one. It's just kinda surprising.

The macOS installer is a universal installer. Meaning it contains the entire app twice. Once for Intel and one for Apple Silicon. With a macOS installer for only one architecture its size would be cut in half. Windows don't have this problem.
