I have some apps, which are about 20 MB. Would it make sense to reduce their size with App bundle and Dynamic delivery? The size for the textures are 15 MB, so the apps would probably be 5 MB with App bundle. The users would first download that. The textures would then be downloaded with Dynamic delivery.

This is what Google write about this in their blog:
"Smaller apps have higher conversion ratesand our user research shows that app size is a leading motivator in driving uninstalls"

But maybe an app with 20 MB is not big enough to make it meaningful to reduce its sice with App bundle? Maybe the users would get annoyed when they have to download the additional textures to get the animation of the app to start?
