Take paracetamol for example, some 500mg tablets are so small, while other 500mg are gigantic? What benefit is there to making gigantic tablets? Seems like they’re just harder to swallow.

Different amounts of non-active ingredients are added to every pill so they are released into your body at a different rate. If the pill itself is only 500 mg of things it would just dissolve almost immediately. A larger pill would take longer to dissolve.
Faster acting drugs are usually given in liquid form (shot or syrup) so they don’t bother making pills out of it.
