While making a simple test app, I relized that the size of the virtual environment on my macbook is around 1.2G, whereas I only installed PySide6 wheels in that virtual environment. It turned out that around 500MB of it is taken by QtWebEngine. According the feedback from the QtWebEngine, the regular footprint should be 200MB if not smaller. I'm not fully sure what this 300MB difference is used for. If this is native debug information, I would question if it is needed for Python developers so that it takes so much space.
