A few thoughts:
(1) I'm not sure that it is at the expense of usability, so I want to question your premise.
(2) Size on disk is a proxy for many other kinds of bloat. That article specifically mentions one in the opening, compile time. Surface area of the codebase is another good example, where people are concerned that the amount of libraries and code that they're pulling in means higher probability of library bugs and maintenance burden.
(3) Bandwidth still has a cost.
