While I think it's certainly bearable to have 100MB+ large hello world applications in 2018

Sorry, what?

Well obviously it's horrible but it's most likely not going to ruin your business. I prefer the small Go binary tho.

Let's say: relatively small. If it does not fit on a floppy disk, it is not small. :-)

That's one of the problems with today's development: it's most likely not going to ruin your business. People should complain more instead of just throwing more hardware at it.

I totally agree with you. The purpose of this post is that even for the people locked into Java development, there might be an option to improve this situation.
