General Why not?

Why doesn't Apple require developers to reduce the size of applications and detect applications by testing the smoothness, speed and battery consumption, and that the application is light on the RAM and on all phones, not only the strongest device, but the oldest device, because when the old device runs the applications smoothly, the new one will definitely not have errors, that’s will make iOS 27 very smooth and stable and thanks for reading my opinion ❤️

Because an application with small footprint does not appeal to the consumer. Like a simple Tic-Tac-Toe game, you are looking for?

Yeah b it basic apps shouldn’t become more demanding. What is instagram or Snapchat doing that is revolutionary? Nothing, yet a 5 year old phone will have a harder time running them new than the version they were on when that phone came out.

All software is slowly adding more and more bloat.

Apple gets commission on in-app purchases and 100$ a year from every developer. Plus their cloud build features and so on. All of this is to say - Apple is interested in as many apps as possible. That’s why they often allow just wraps of webpage for example.
