Yeah, having ability to make installation medium smaller by stripping away unused hi-res textures would be a really nice product feature.
I just a bit skeptical with having an old game requiring exponential increase hardware requirements with improvements limited just for some visuals. On the other hand, it could be WarCraft 3: Reforged situation, so, I guess now it is more of a “there is always space for improvement” situation.
Don’t know if it is fully optional, but Star Craft 2 installs on low res first, allowing you to boot the game in low res before the full install has completed.

I swear some game had high res textures optional on Steam. Maybe Witcher 3?
