Why do we need to download the tmp module each time we run "Connect-ExchangeOnline"?

Other PS-modules from Microsoft like "Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell", "Microsoft.Graph.Authentication" or "Az.Accounts" are installed to the local machine once. You can then connect to the services and run cmdlets according to your permission. This results in less network traffic and faster connection. Maybe this would also improve memory consumption?
