I fail to understand why 888 KiB matters if it's just a wrapper around a cloud api.

A lot of the *claws emphasize binary size and lines of code. I think for better or worse people treat codebase size as a proxy for "how much of the project is unsupervised, unmaintainable, buggy AI slop?"

Because of resource-constrained environments, the primary deployment target seem to be microcontrollers. You can get ESP32 boards for pretty cheap.
