Maybe "former" is why. There are no numbers published to confirm or deny. It's apparent if you keep up with the community and ask developers what they use.

You're really talking about reducing sizes of assets & included libs. That has more to do with optimizing DL time than hardware performance, and nothing to do with low level coding where you're writing machine instructions without touching a higher level of abstraction. Not the same at all.

So just an anecdote, kind of "on my neighbourhood...".
Former IGDA member, Gamasutra subscriber and GDCE attendee here, hence why I asked for numbers.

It is not, but the goal of fitting as much code as possible in small packages is.
