LyX would still just be 65 MB to download, while the smallest MikTeX download is 130 MB for Windows (https://miktex.org/download#win). I don't know how large TeX Live is: the installer is 25 MB to download, just as much as a TinyTeX (https://github.com/rstudio/tinytex-releases), while a standard TeX Live installation is 1.2 GB. LyX would be much smaller than that. The install size isn't as important, nowadays. > So what would you say?

I'm not too fond of adding a message to the user saying that such windows are normal, they'd tend to think that LyX is poorly coded.
