As time goes on, everything in the software industry gets more and more bloated. Even things written from scratch get that way. Take Rust for example, you download a gig or two that inflates as it gets built and builds other random projects and when all is said and done you've got 20gb of crap on your drive. Sure, you wouldn't distribute all of that for your program to work, and things you write in it won't need that much, but as a developer, you have to keep the equivalent of an entire operating system, and then some, around just to use a single language that isn't even very good. On the other hand, if you developed only C or C++, a system with a GUI can be installed that works well in 4gb or less, depending on how tight you want things, and you can get pretty dang tight with Linux.
