I agree with what you're saying here, but the problem is we're looking
at a difference of only a few hundred k.

Heck, my primary PC was a 32-bit single-core right up until last year
(and I still use it as a secondary system), and I didn't care one bit if
a hello world was 1k or 1MB.

How many real world programs are as trivial as a hello world? A few
maybe, but not many. Certainly not enough to actually add up to
anything significant, unless maybe you happen to be running on a 286 or
such.

If we were talking about real-world D programs taking tens/hundreds of
MB more than they should, then that would be a problem. But they
don't. We're just talking about a few hundred k for an *entire* program.
