I would say, this is because Microsoft did not embed CEF into Windows.
So if you customers are asking why, tell them "because they are using Windows"
and if they want to use a smaller download file they should use macOS. ;)
I for myself would not have a problem with a download size of 170MB for a
program i want to use. Compared to Adobe, MS Office and other programs, 170MB
are not worth moaning about
But that's my opinion.
