Comment (by oglekler):

 I have doubts about the phrase: "You can reduce the number of autoloaded
 options by cleaning up your site's options table". I had an experience
 (with another CMS I don't like at all) when I've told the manager not to
 store images into the public_html folder, and she deleted everything from
 it except subfolders to make things pretty. 🙈 So, taking this phrase as
 it is, a person can go into the database and truncate the options table.
 Btw, not loading some options can damage performance too because they will
 be loaded one by one when needed. And, am I right in thinking that not
 autoloaded transients are taking two trips into the database? 🤔

 I believe that the correct way is to notify the user about the problem,
 with note that this issue should be handled by the developer.

 This information will be useful for developers to pay attention to, it is
 very convenient to have it usually as a site maintainer you are not
 thinking about such things (expecting that theme or plugins developers are
 known what they are doing). Possibly it could be added to the Directories
 and Sizes panel of the Info tab. This also can bring attention of themes
 and plugins developers to what they are autoloading. "To load or not to
 load" can be a tough decision 🙂
