   I don't understand why you would want to remove well-balanced and relatively small local-inference models that ship with every mac.

   Sure, not frontier levels but fine for basic tasks and they are off-the-cloud.

      The point is that it downloads a multi-gig model automatically without providing an easy way to reclaim that storage space if you don't intend to use that feature.

      This is very much an anti-user behavior. Certainly having models run on-device is preferred when possible, but if you don't want to use the Apple Intelligence this is an anti-feature. Especially on devices with small storage capacities which are impacted the most by this.
