Supporting even completely unused features creates significant costs, including:
-- Tests for those features still run regularly
-- Increased download size
-- Increased runtime code memory usage (it's impossible to completely separate code pages for unused features from used features)
-- The code must be maintained as interfaces they depend on are refactored
-- Attackers will find exploitable bugs that harm users and must be fixed
