"Dictionary gains are mostly effective in the first few KB."

Pretrained dictionaries have never been intended to help with book sized or bigger compression. zstd automatically learns the most efficient dictionary it can within a few kilobytes. Pretrained dictionaries are only useful when you're independently compressing very small records.
