The driver consumes a few KB. The bullshit software that you don't need to install is what's consuming the GB.
The software, afaik there is no actual driver involved.
X mouse button control
It can't detect some of the fancier buttons and gestures but it can often pickup buttons 4 and 5 for remapping, and it does chording and long press options to give you multiple functions without any AI bullshit.
Don't look up how much space Nvidia drivers take then.
Nvidia drivers at least do something that are fairly complex and heavy, and they're necessary. Whereas this thing is just some comically overdeveloped and extremely annoying piece of bloatware from Logitech to remap a bunch of buttons.
My first mouse driver was smaller than the picture you attached to this post
I like SpaceSniffer, it is almost 10 years old program and I still use it

Space Sniffer gang represent!
My installation process for a new mouse is as follows: 1 - Attempt to plug it in. 2 - Flip the USB connector. 3 - Plug it in. 4 - Use the mouse.
Is there anything at all to be gained from installing the software that comes with the mouse? Even with extra side buttons, I've never had anything not work out of the box.
Edit: OP is remapping buttons. Got it.
Lights, dpi configuration, polling rate settings, surface calibration, and (as you mentioned) button remapping. Yes it will work without that but it can work better (and personally that’s worth a little extra ram anyways)

you could use autohotkey and remap mouse3/4 (or whatever they are) to C-c and C-v
Input Remapper on linux can get the job done without the need for this junk. I've used it for this exact purpose before.
