I see in your example that your photo's are 12 Mpixels per image, as
JPEGs ... phew ! So what size are they as PNG's?
Ok, as Jpegs they vary from about 500KB to around 3 MB. As PNGs they
vary also up to around 20mb. Big, it's true, but I can edit them as
often as I like.
My wife's Konica Minolta DSLR shoots in RAW and her images are all
exactly 8.8 MB in size.
Indeed ... it is about the purpose of the data image.
Sometime you want highest quality, sometimes lesser quality for a
smaller data image file size.
I only use a conversion - once - from a larger original size, down to
640 x 480, which is fine for web pages and small in size.
This saves space on the web server, and the images load quickly enough
on slow machines not to be awkward to wait for.
