It doesn’t meaningfully help with that unless much harder constraints are applied in development where it would become relevant at run-time. It can be relevant for low-storage machines however. That’s what binary size is primarily about after all. And low-storage and low-memory may go hand in hand at times as device properties.
To be clear - I’m referring to devices with, say, 128MiB of device storage and memory when I refer to low memory machines (which I’ve developed for before actually). If you’ve got storage in the GB, then there’s no way optimizing for size matters lol.
This is a part of the misconceptions about it.
