Yeah, though the joke is funny, this is the real answer.

Storage is cheap compared to creating custom libraries.

Also the storage is the cost for the user, and google in the case of play store. So the developers have no incentive to reduce the size.

Storage is cheap on a PC, it's not cheap on mobile where it's fixed and used as a model differentiator. They overcharge you so much. Oh, and they removed SD card slots from nearly all phones.

Nah it's fine. Clean up used apps every once in a while. Base phones have more than enough space.
