A lot of current day Application Software is of course very much bloated. But on the other hand things at the System Level have gotten so much more complex and complicated that some of the "bloat" is actually "necessary infrastructure". The above was brought home to me long ago when i compared/read Marc Rochkind's Advanced Unix Programming 1st vs. 2nd edition; You really get to see the evolution of the OS and why it has gotten so big. With modern Cloud based distributed systems things have gotten much more worse in both dimensions of "Essential vs. Accidental" complexities.
