Neon actually solved a bunch of problems here. Sure, 80MB might not seem huge, but in a git repo? Also, 80MB is actually large enough to impact git performance according to Github(https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/working-with-files/m...). That can be a pain, especially if you're updating it often. Neon let them ditch the whole 'DB-in-git' approach. No more slowing down the repo or worrying about it ballooning with every update. Plus, it probably made deployment and scaling way smoother. Sometimes the 'clever' solution isn't the best long-term, you know? Kudos to them for recognizing that and making the switch.
