Facebook gets away with its behavior because it's Facebook. For everyone else, it's an uphill battle to get installs.
As an experiment, Segment purchased a successful calculator app, and then deliberately bloated it over time. Installs dropped as the size increased. When it crossed the 100mb cellular download limit, it dropped by 66%.

If that 30mb doesn't push you over the 100mb limit, you can expect it to cut installs by 13.5%.
