hi jeroen2,
You have to remember pCP uses piCore Linux which is a minimal install
Linux running in RAM. On the initial pCP image we have just enough
software to make a Squeezelite player work. This suits 99% of the
users.
So most extra features requires the download and installation of more
software (extensions). Avahi/zeroconfig has a number of dependencies so
although it does very little it might have add 10% or 20% to the size of
original image. So we decided not to include it.
If you load Shairport-sync or WAP, avahi/zeroconfig *may* be a
dependency so it will be installed.
I don't have a dependency tree for Shairport-sync handy but here is one
for Bluetooth for an example.

--------------------
That's 40MB of extra files.
This feature creep is what makes a minimal 30MB Linux install grow to
4GB Raspberry Pi OS.
Some users that require a lots of customisation find it better to start
with Raspberry Pi OS and load Squeezelite themselves.
