Sidenote but: it's crazy how big this update is. 13 GB is crazy

Update from 26.3 to 26.4 for the Studio Display XDR was 2.4GB. And that's for a variant of iOS designed for screens.

Yeah I’m honestly not sure why macOS updates seem to be so huge. Often gigabytes. Do they actually have thousands of changes, so they basically ship out new versions of almost all system libraries? Or is it that they don’t have good diffing in place? Or is it a BSD thing where you basically ship everyone at once since it’s all sort of “one version” of the base system?
