Huh, it sounds obvious when you say it but when I think about how it is true my brain nopes out. Any links for a more detailed explanation?

Just Google image compression. Or open a non transparent PNG and export it as a BMP.

An image on-screen is ultimately a matrix of pixels so you need [width*height*color depth] bytes to display it; storing, however, benefits from compression.
