Reproduction steps:
1. Open the attached "repro_IN-95316" project
2. Open the "Build Settings.../Build Profiles" window ("File -> Build Settings.../Build Profiles")
3. Build the project by pressing the "Build" button
4. Once the build completes, open the "Windows Terminal" and change the active path to the Editor path (to the same version that was used in the previous steps)
5. Build via command-line using this command: .\Unity.exe -projectPath $projectPath -quit -batchmode -buildTarget "win64" -buildWindows64Player $targetDestination -logFile $logFile
6. Once the build is completed, compare the sizes of both builds
Expected result: Both builds are of the same size
Actual result: Command-line build takes up more space (~1.34 GB) than the Editor build (~1.25 GB)
Reproducible with: 6000.0.40f1, 6000.1.0b8, 6000.2.0a5
Not reproducible with: 2022.3.59f1

Not reproducible on: No other environments tested
Notes:
- $projectPath is the full path to you Unity project folder (i.e. "C:\Projects\repro_IN-95316")
- $targetDestination is the full path, including the executable name, of where you want the build to be created (i.e. "C:\Projects\repro_IN-95316\Builds\CommandLineBuild\CommandLineBuildExecutable.exe")
- $logFile is the full path of where you want the build log to be saved (i.e. "C:\Projects\repro_IN-95316\Builds\CommandLineBuild\command_line_build_log.txt")
