+1, but what I can't understand is why the MiB size is a figure of merit?
Instead a more relevant question, imho, is why waste server resources and time
on bad software?

Most of these games are either from 1990 era or developed simply for fun and
have poor quality, especially compared to multi-million budgeted Windows games.
And look at the number of game pkgs per TU in community. Most likely these
packages are simply being routinely rebuilt without seeing much usage.
