It doesn’t meaningfully help with that unless much harder constraints are applied in development where it would become relevant at run-time. It can be relevant for low-storage machines however. That’s what binary size is primarily about after all. And low-storage and low-memory may go hand in hand at times as device properties.
My understanding is that should almost only ever be set for WASM. Certain low-memory machines may also want it, but that’s extremely rare.
I’m not sure who’s recommending it, only ever seen it recommended for WASM applications.
This is a part of the misconceptions about it.
