It's not about putting weight strain on CPAN mirrors (though I'm not sure it's impossible to make such a claim), but of the pollution of CPAN. CPAN is meant to be a public repository, not a private stash. I have my bunch of things that I like to use too: my bashrc file, my Git aliases, Git terminal highlighting (a tweak I did off a tweak Pedro Melo did off a version Yuval Cogman did, if I recall correctly), my base Dist::Zilla dist.ini file, my ssh keys, and so on. I keep them on Github.com and on my private personal repository.
I think it's also worth noting that every extra upload has the potential to show up in search results. If the thing you're uploading isn't useful to anyone else but it shows up in a search result, you've just made the search result a little less useful.
