Why not have both? A single server/service AND easy-to-install modules providing atomic functionality? Just make the install/uninstall process easy (like just downloading and optionally unpacking a modules archive into installed_modules Dir)?

Yes! Since these will be easy and used _as needed_, the plan is to have those be set by this `.env` var: https://github.com/bewcloud/bewcloud/blob/2d70a3817de1fd6108... thus not requiring download/install/uninstall, but not bloat as they won't be used if they're not enabled.

With the exception of a handful of core modules isn’t that exactly what Nextcloud does?

Yes! Their "problem" is that they have to support a lot of legacy and extensibility, thus even just the "barebones" Nextcloud uses a lot of resources (CPU/Memory/IO).
