ASM.js builds can be quite large, even 10s of MB is not uncommon. Reducing the binary size isn't just "nice to have", it changes the viability of the platform.

But wasn’t the argument of the wasm team against the LISP features that binary size isn’t relevant and just a "nice to have" feature?

I don't think anyone is arguing that binary size isn't relevant. It just has to be weighed against the other parameters we want to optimize, like implementation complexity.
