It's true that in the demo video, it's only called out that a third party dependency was removed from the client bundle. And it's true that these types of "infra" dependencies don't make up a large % of your codebase to begin with.

But there's another angle to consider. In thick client apps, product code (everything else) tends to take up the majority of the size of the client bundle. There's a real opportunity here to move some of that into Server Components which would help reduce that footprint significantly. For example consider the case of deeply wrapped components that ultimately render to a single <div>. Server Components could help remove that abstraction tax.

There is also another RFC that proposes alternatives: https://github.com/reactjs/rfcs/pull/189

There is a video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4Duii6Yog0) at the end of the post which shows Chris demoing the chat room app.

Hey, this looks really good!

I'd like to make a suggestion for a cool feature: being able to clone someone else's recipe and put my own 'twist' on it. Almost like a git fork, if you want to use that analogy. You could also submit pull requests... you get the idea.
