    That last bullet point is exactly right. Commented Sep 25, 2015 at 11:32

    I've made a total of one android app, and the APK is 0.05MB. Then again, it doesn't do that much. I'm still wondering why a stopwatch app (with a similar amount of functionality as mine, though completely different) takes several MB. Commented Sep 26, 2015 at 12:15

    The last bullet point is wrong, developers do care. We just have to juggle various priorities and making that app a little bigger makes sense. Commented Sep 26, 2015 at 23:35

    It also didn't help that the SDK (at the time) insisted on adding a 5+MB library to my 0.05MB app that I didn't need, and I had to remember to remove it before a release build. Commented Jul 24, 2018 at 0:41
