So, I'd question the usefulness of not installing man-page

It's more about getting to the point of being able to remove them and or
have the option not to install them.

Well, rpm-wise, all files marked %doc are considered to be optional.

I.e. rm -rf /usr/share/doc/* etc. are supposed to work
=> rpm issuing warnings/errors after %doc-files removals should be considered to be packaging bugs (I don't have a case at hand, but know there are such bugs).

Whether they should or should not be installed by default depends on
people personal preferences and SIG's uses cases/target audience

Embedded  + cloud + containers probably want to remove them

Server + desktop probably wants to keep them

And to you 89m is little, to me it's much so fourth and so on...

C'mon, we have packages whose install-sizes are measured in 10ths and 100s of MBs ... and we have other dirs which can easily grow beyond any limits.

Same system as before:
# du -sh /var/cache /usr
13G	/var/cache
8.8G	/usr
