Tbh bloat usually has nothing to do with tracking or something. Additional code is actually super light-weight. To add full tracking and stuff, we might be looking at a few 100kb additional size.

Using fat frameworks like react native adds much more size. Maybe another 5-10MB.

But what really takes a lot of space is animations, images, background images and stuff like that. A high-res image might take multiple MB on it's own. Multiple of them will take much more.
