Did they say how big that is, because that's not any of the reasons I heard them give about it. It also doesn't make sense within the context of modern computing either. There's also the fact that they've been letting us do hundreds of thousands of damage since Eureka in Stormblood, and now with Blue Mage and Basic Instinct.

Either way, it's for their benefit, not ours.
