2 MB is every small indeed. Is there a reason you need such a small binary? Some kind of embedded scenario? Small device? RAM is expensive? 😅

No, but I feel bad when I need to deploy a big package for a bit of scripting.

For example, nushell is about 160 MB installed… which I find a bit much. It's fine on my desktop, but I also have machines where this would be a significant addition.
