ESP nodeMCU maximum sketch upload is 1MB

Somehow regardless of the selected Flashsize + FS the maximum sketch upload size is 1MB. Does anybody know why and is willing to explain ?

Do you find the same limitation using the ESPRESSIF IDF?

Oh i don't know i never use that. I am just a little curious, i had never noticed before but then i rarely use units with more than 1MB flash. I am now starting to think that you know the answer to the question you ask, i may be wrong though.
I see OTA updates can use the rest of the flash for temporary storage.
I am not short on flash, so it's not an issue, just curious.

'With the Arduino core, ESP82xx can use at most 1MB to store the main sketch in flash memory.'
