Disable Reserved Storage (for both this & the Windows Converter)
There exists a setting that forces Windows to reserve 10GB of space for system maintenance, documented here: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/storage-at-microsoft/windows-10-and-reserved-storage/ba-p/428327
While this can be accomplished through setupcomplete.cmd, it won't take effect until a Windows Update is applied.
While offline pre-modding of the registry hive is an option, it's substantially more time-consuming compared to the alternative – DISM received a new command line option to disable it: /Set-ReservedStorageState /State:Disabled
(Documentation of this option located here)
However, if the multi-platform converter can't get access to that same luxury, pre-modding the registry hive is the only option. If you want to go that route, here is the exact registry key that needs to be changed (in .reg format):
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ReserveManager]
"ShippedWithReserves"=dword:00000000
Why should it be a component of the converter, when using a setupcomplete.cmd or offline pre-modding the registry hive of the mounted wim will instantly apply the setting at install.

As mentioned, this wouldn't work until a Windows update is applied.

The DISM option makes it so that offline pre-modding the registry hive is unnecessary. I'm not sure if the multi-platform converter will have access to that same option, though.
It's a personal preference, should not be forced to all users (i.e. some may want that feature)
however, Windows Converter could have an option to disable it during update integration process
