We'll find that a lot of useful but low profile packages have been removed to make room for the 100's of megabytes used by mono and the mono-based packages that duplicate the functions of existing packages.
Just like with a Wikipedia article, MS is able to dilute a full distro. We can make room for more functionality to the basic installation CD by clearing away mono and its dependent packages .
Time will tell is there are investigative journalists out there who will quit parroting Microsoft (e.g. false layoff figures) and relying on LLMs controlled by Microsoft to spew out false "facts" for them
If Microsoft admits that slop is too expensive and is for "entertainment purposes" because it cannot be relied upon, why would anyone other than the pushers and profiteers still insist that slop bears potential?
There have been more efforts than we can to count or can enumerate (probably over 100 such efforts) to gag us and to prevent us writing about what has happened

A 650MB CD can only hold so much redundancy.
