It's not the shrinking... it's a motaphorically for minimalist (also smimplified) - the poor tinkerer's version. It's not a size thing at all... because the small breadboards have about the same footprint as an arduino (uno).
The challenge with the cheap STM32 boards is the fact that they are STM sponsored/marketing tools to the get develpers - and tinkerers - used to the hardware when on low budget - usually in schoool or while in school in their hobby time - and later, when in real business/workplace, will pick what they have experience with - and finally can materialize their dreams in real setting with elaborate boards. And with the fineprint that does not allow to use such boards as components in a product... a limitation which Espruino does not have - by 'overall design'.
