2.1MB is a huge most of the world where the internet speeds are not gigabyte etc. Yes, storage wise it's not a lot, but it's extra 5 seconds or so the user needs to wait for the site to load.
There are only a few countries in the world where 2.1 MB extra would add (barely) more than 1 second to site download based on the country’s median internet connection speeds. The vast majority of countries would see less than <100ms from 2.1MB.
And the bigger thing here is that this is all cached after it’s downloaded the first time.

Download speed isn't the only thing that matters
That shows a lot of disrespect for hardware that isn’t yours.
