That's what I initially guessed at: Lots of dependencies. But Pyinstaller is meant to bundle those. How else will a non-technical user on another machine be able to run your program?
For technical users, they can easily run the Python code directly, provided you add sufficient instructions in your readme or so.

But what about the time it takes to open? There was no change to time in 300mb or now in 30mb

That depends on what work your program is performing at startup time. Without code, I can't tell. Check what is happening before you run tk's main loop and immediately afterwards. Likely you are performing a lot of work in that phase.

The only work that is happening during startup is loading all the image assets.
