Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported size breakdown with du . --apparent-size -h | sort -h, focusing on the published NPM package and the nearly 200M attributed to googleapis. Trace how that package is included in the published client library, then verify that the resulting package is smaller without losing the requested API access.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Using du . --apparent-size -h | sort -h here is the result of what I see:
Yes, azure and exceljs also take a lot of space. But googleapis, that's truly bothering. Almost 200M?
Please reduce this size.
