If we started talking about size of statically linked binaries, in this
field [on x86-64] an advantage of Windows/MSVC over Linux/gcc appears
quite huge.

MSVC 2013 - 84,480 bytes
MSVC 2019 - 119,808 bytes
gcc (Debian Linux) - 682,688 bytes

By old standards, MSVC binary is bloated beyond reason, but
comparatively to gcc/Linux it looks almost lean.

I can't say that I care deeply, but can't say that I don't care at all
either. Statically linked binaries is the only way by which I was able
to copy programs compiled on relatively new Debian to Ubuntu-LTS that
was not that much older (2-3 years). I fully believe that there exist
other methods, but they are above my skills and above skills of
co-workers.
