The statement Affinity reads only the PDF stream is wrong?

Whenever the topic is about AI files not being opened correctly with the Affinities, you'll get the information that Affinity can only read the PDF stream. Well, are doubts allowed or there must be more than this.

Let's say I have an AI file (including PDF stream) with 1,12 MB and saved as PDF (keeping with AI edibility) with 73,7 KB. Now I place both in separate documents and export them as Press Ready. The PDF from the PDF has now 3,27 KB and PDF from the AI has 797 KB! So where are the additional 794 KB coming from, when only the PDF stream is read?

One of the reasons may be, that the Passthrough output of AI files is plain wrong? Attached two simple files.
