Slightly? I don't consider 25,600 bytes a slight increase. In D7, a simple console application is only 16,384 bytes.

You should take into account the environment of a "console" application:

A 16 bit DOS program uses DOS and BIOS interrupts. When such a program is started under Windows, then Windows has to provide (emulate) such an environment.

A 32 bit console application uses Windows APIs instead of interrupts. The capabilities of these APIs grow with every new Windows version, so that the libraries also must grow, in order to make the new console etc. functionality available to applications.

A .NET console application uses .NET APIs instead of interrupts, the same API/library considerations apply as for 32 bit applications. A difference (in file size) may be noticeable, because .NET provides most library code in dedicated external assemblies - comparable to "using runtime packages" in Delphi for Win32.
