1MB vs. 30MB is the difference between:

- Pull the prod image to my laptop in ~1 sec vs. pull the image in 10ish seconds

- CI build and push the image instantly vs. ~2-3+ seconds

- Long-term (1y+) retention of per-pipeline/push artifacts vs. per-branch/tag artifacts.

- All images in each node's cache vs. 50% of images in each node's cache.

Yeah, I don't really give a shit about the 30MB once it's out there. But there's also all the steps to get it / keep it out there.
