If, due to size, one is able to "fit" more objects into any given area
wouldn't the data limit for the cell also fill sooner?
Just because a 10x10 floor.rwx is now a 5x5 floor.rwx does not now mean
that the data space it occupies is also halved.

OK, here's your correction: The SDK is not only for Bots, they just
happen to be the current craze. Basically, the SDK allows third party
apps to manipulate the AW client and/or server without human
intervention, other than initial setup, being required. The only reason
that Bots are the focus right now is that Bots are the focus right now.
The SDK's uses are only limited by the imagination and programming
skills of those using it.
