So you think a priori it's fine to shove MBs of code to a mobile user?

And, if you get into that situation with Blazor, what's the plan for solving the problem? Other than moving features to JS.

I don't have any links at hand but the JS benchmarks I linked uses 4MB of uncompressed code (12MB with the AOT version) just for displaying a table and changing the data.

Here's a demo that's sending like 2MB of Blazor code for a button that updates some text:

Here's someone using dotnet 9 reporting a 17MB download and 67MB with AOT:

I think we have to consider whether or not that matters.

Okay, but then what is the size increase if you have a full app? Is it 2MB per button (obviously not).

My point is you are so focused on things that may or may not matter. So saying its useless for most usecases is a terrible position.
