I am definitely not what anyone would call a 'weight weenie' but even I would be bothered by the weight of a steel folding basket on a bike on a recreational ride longer than a few kms.

And those baskets all weigh around 1 - 1.5 kg, so are probably closer to 2-3% of total weight for the average person.
