I don't think it's about disk space at all. Read only browse means nearly all the same code, with whatever vulnerabilities it has, is there and needs to be supported. I'm sure a good chunk of removing the all Mercurial support is not needing to keep an eye on the code to allow repo browsing, etc.

They don't need to allow browsing it; but at least have a minimal page which shows the presence of the repository, and allow cloning it.

  Or just provide a link to a tarball download.

  Cloning it still runs code they don't want to run on their servers.

    No. You just need a dumb webserver, no extra code needed.
