Size of the initramfs for the updated kernel is very large (70MB or more)

Issue

• The initramfs on the system is getting created with larger size, whereas it should be expected between ~20-40MB

  # uname -r
  3.10.0-1160.el7.x86_64
  
  # ls -lrth /boot/initramfs-3.10.0-1160.el7.x86_64.img
  -rw-------. 1 root root 77M Apr  7 10:14 /boot/initramfs-3.10.0-1160.el7.x86_64.img
  

• Any initramfs files created are suddenly huge over 300mb in space.

  The command used was:
  # dracut -f /boot/initramfs-5.14.0-570.39.1.el9_6.x86_64.img 5.14.0-570.39.1.el9_6.x86_64
