Fire weighs a lot in Valheim, uhh, for ores only, I guess.

Viking science.

The real answer is that it's intended by the developer so that you cannot easily move, process, or use ores without making a proper settlement that can handle such things like a group of furnaces next to the place you have a Forge. It's all intended. It's the main reason why cowards like to use the move ores through portals mod.

Ore has more impurities that are smelted out. Bar is denser.

it's 1 ore to 1 bar

Actually it is not. You can put 10 ore in and 20 charcoal and still only get 9 bars, thus requiring more firing time.

Thus Viking science

Smelters use slightly more than 2 coal per recipe. It's a little upsetting.

This isn't true. For every ore you put in you get a bar out. The charcoal ratio is off though, so maybe that's what you are thinking of.
