Probably this is because you are using Type 1 fonts. Type1C/OpenType fonts are much smaller, and will be generated when you print to PDF. You may be interested in https://github.com/pts/pdfsizeopt (for making all such fonts smaller automatically) or using OpenType fonts if you'd like (though this will change some things within your TeX flow).
Perhaps double-check if you are subsetting fonts when creating the PDFs.
@davidmjones Can this issue be closed?
I noticed that pdf's made with TeXMaker and TeXLive 2020 on Linux with \usepackage{stix2} are larger than they have to be. Opening and then printing the pdfs to pdf with Evince can shrink the pdfs by as much as 10 times. Pdfs made with the Fourier package come out small already. My pdfs tend to be just a couple of pages long. A one page file with no figures went from 400K to 85K.
