The relatively good news is that GhostScript is not solely to blame. A
fresh build of "GPL Ghostscript 10.03.0 (2024-03-06)" was able to
reduce the files to 16..70% of their original size on my computer. But
I just typed ./configure && make and relied on the dependencies already
present on my system.

We can try to compare the build settings (which will involve compiling
things by hand) or ask the Homebrew people [*] (and they will probably
ask for a PDF file and a specific command line that works on some
builds of gs-10.03.0 but not with Homebrew).

What would you rather do?

qpdf, on the other hand, results in no size reduction (99.7% or worse),
just like on your system.
