The "problem" is that a) debug symbols are included and b) you have
libraries for 5 different platforms (x86, x86-64, arm7, arm7s, arm64) :)

When linking an application against the framework, the linker will
automatically drop everything that is not needed and especially will
drop debug symbols if you build in release mode. It's only a lot of
space you need as a developer, and not causing huge applications for the
user.
