How does removing the shebang save two megabytes? Seems like a lot. Is it the env binary?

Yes, the size of env closes to 2mb. I maybe wrong here, though. Seems something is wrong.

I wasn't able to dig deep enough on why that was the case, considering the "env" utility was coming from busybox which on copy averages close to 900Kb.
