Valid question, but likely to stir up some resentment. :-)

The script-based architecture is there to promote extensibility. The
cost of extensibility is well understood across software engineering
and SC is no exception.

SC has definitely grown in resource requirements and, yes, it could be
its undoing. I think there is certainly a place for an SC-Lite with
basic functionality and no plugins.

However the appeal of the whole Squeezebox solution comes from its
ability to adapt and extend - something that couldn't be achieved if
the architecture didn't support scripting. Does it need to be so
script-based? I don't know.

If you haven't done so already, I would recommend you go through the
plugins list and switch off those you don't use. This will bring down
the RAM footprint to a degree.
