Assigning a referenced asset to a Asset Bundle instead of leaving it as automatic increases the Bundle size
How to reproduce:
1. Open the attached project
2. Make sure the "project/bundles" folder is empty
3. Tests > Build Bundles
4. Check the bundle sizes in "project/bundles"
Actual result: The "chest 1" (Where the referenced asset is added to bundle) bundle takes more space then "chest 2" (bundle where the asset is just referenced)
Expected result: The bundle sizes doesn't differ.
Reproducible with: 2018.4.18f1, 2019.2.20f1, 2019.3.3f1, 2020.1.0a25, 2020.2.0a1.
Notes:
- In user's full project the size increases are a lot higher.

Resolution Note:
Assigning an asset to an explicit bundle tells the build system the entire asset should be available at runtime. Where pulling in the asset via reference pulls in only the used components of that asset. This is by design.
