This is not a valid technical reason for creating bloatware.
Bloatware's main problem is not a cost of storing it or
downloading it. The main problem that over time it becomes
an unmaintainable monstrosity nobody is willing to deal with.
I would rather try to find and fix a bug in 2000 lines of C code
than in 200 000 lines.
