Strange Behavior-- shrinking C free space/restore PtsUpdats

W11 21 H2 Build 22000.1641 (Dell Inspiron 15)
My free space keeps shrinking. A major cause is my System Vol. Info
Mostly restore pts config, although I do put a tight limit of about 4.5 gb., and that works

Nevertheless as the free space declines, if I eliminate all restore Pts (some created
when I do Windows Updates) and just create one new update, the configuration drops but then just
keeps increasing with the one restore pt.. WHY? Every so often, I delete recycle bin contents and assorted temp file along
with the aforementioned extra created restore pts. Still that created restore pt config. keeps gaining space.

Here are some readings; the last one after my latest deletions:

A number of us here do not even have system restore turned on as it is a hit and miss means of recovery.
An automatic restore point is made before a Windows update is installed, an unsigned driver is installed, or a program is installed from an MSI. A restore point is also made every seven days if no other automatic restore point has been otherwise made.

When making a complete system image is so quick, why bother with a partial backup like System Restore's
