Perfect is the enemy of good.
We aren't talking about a billion zero byte files and expecting them to
take no space. It is things like a user with a file manager grabbing some
files and eyeballing if they will fit in the destination. Or the file
manager itself giving a warning before the copying starts ("they might not
fit").
In both cases the sum of the source file sizes is compared to the df on
the destination.
