The applet is specifically written to show what we call the "recovery

the upcoming boot tracking splash UI that's upcoming.
This ends up saving ~100KiB. Not much, but we're already 1MiB over the
~7-8 MiB budget.
Though, in reality, it's not for the space saving, but because
dlopen/dlsym will be needed for ffi-based bindings.
