> Although UNIX philosophy posits that it's good to have many small files, I like your idea for its contribution to reduceing clutter (imagine running 'tree' in both scenarios) and also avoiding running out of inodes in some file systems (maybe less of a problem nowadays in general, not sure as I haven't generated millions of tiny files recently).
Pretty rare for any website to have many files, as they optimize to have as few files as possible(less network requests, which could be slower than just shipping a big file). I have crawled react docs as a test, and it's a zip file of 147mb with 3.803 files (including external resources).
https://docs.solidjs.com/ is 12mb (including external resources) with 646 files
