I have no idea, didn't give much thought to it. Actually, I didn't even look at that size.
But through a quick google search I found this:

In other words, Assimp CMake really is a pita troublesome to configure, I got around 3 problems, and yet there's another.
If I use my windows for anything today I will recompile it without -g.
It is that big because -g creates debugging symbols. But I bet none of you will debug the library, nor most users will.
Now, why they left -g on by default under the release build is beyond me.
And there's also a build called minsize, that returns the exact same size as the default build...
No wonder assimp is so sparsely used.
Here is a download link for a smaller version of the library:

This was the smallest I could come up with. I have also added the static lib.
