Probably no big external dependencies or any assets. It looks like something full of handwritten code, down to the self-rendered UI-elements. Also it's written in C/C++ and assembler, so there is no unnecessary bloat shipped out-of-the-box.
Just an educated guess, but perhaps there are optional dependencies missing in the arm64 version. Some programs are still broken or perform badly on arm64.
Reaper install is 13 megs. I have no idea how is this possible today.

Because they're good
And it's good. It also seems to have the most flexible plugin system of any DAW that has decent level of usage.
can just swap electron for tauri for example
Or you know… build a proper app.

Now that I look at it, why is the arm64 that much smaller then x86_64?
36 vs 47MB

I think it has to do with arm64 not supporting plugins and thus not shipping with any.
On MacOS is went from 189mb->128mb for v3->v4 which is nice
