Not everyone uses the .npmignore file.
Maybe it's the author's choice, but in the meantime, that's my personal storage space that's being used unnecessarily.
I tested it recently on a clean install of Strapi: about 250 MB are freed up. Storage is cheap but that still represents a lot, especially inside a Docker image.
The patterns used to find files are specific enough to target only those files that are well known to be useless at runtime.
