A good article a while back looked at common unix utilities, comparing the size of commands like cp from the 1980's to the present. Most of the bloat had to do with features that almost nobody ever uses.
That was actually a talk called "Bloat: How and Why UNIX Grew Up (and Out)": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nbv9L-WIu0s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nbv9L-WIu0s
Well worth a viewing.
