I have no nVidia to compare, but still, 72M is a lot.  Here's what I see
across a few systems (all Fedora 41):

- Pi4: 24M
- VM: 28M
- Intel CPU (integrated GPU): 39M
- AMD CPU + older Radeon GPU: 77M
- non-hostonly image: 252M

These hostonly images aren't terribly huge, but remember that they're
also loaded through slower firmware methods (especially for network
booting).

Someone said that the main objection to only including simpledrm is for
multi-GPU systems... what about having dracut's hostonly mode default to
simpledrm (no GPU drivers/firmware in initramfs) unless there are
multiple GPUs present (with an option to change that)?  I believe Fedora
42's Plymouth already defaults to using simpledrm.
