Yes. I knoweth what "splats" are: They are splats of fuzzy blobs on the display surface.

(Can we do a Gaussian Splat of the setup of the photograph for the Gaussian Splat of the Strawberry?)

I'm wondering if the splat community has decided this paper is valuable -- https://github.com/fraunhoferhhi/Self-Organizing-Gaussians -- looking at all the detail in the strawberry splat made me wonder how small one can get the download, and what the current state of the art is for compression.

Focus stacking generally is not perfect process and can lead to artifacts/errors and I'd imagine those can then compound when stacked images are used for 3dgs. Also the image focus actually provides some depth data in itself that could be useful?
