Agreed 100%. But newcomers don't often get that far down the chain

A hello wold in java, statically compiled, was 52Mb last time I

It is the same thing in the Go mailing list, new developers just aren't
used to static binaries. Additionally when they look at the size of
modern languages, which tend to have JIT based canonical
implementations, the size of the already installed runtime tends to be
forgotten.
