Follow-up Comment #2, bug #55810 (project octave):

Oh. Also, for complex objects, counting the total number of raw bytes in their
object/memory graph could be a complex, expensive operation because you have
to traverse a lot of objects. So maybe the default behavior of sizeof() and
the Bytes column in whos() should be to return/show NaN and '?', respectively,
to avoid causing them to hang in casual usage.
