For instance, if I were to do a 5 piece endgame tablebase package for crafty (which I haven't done yet), we're talking 6G of disk space, and even the partial 6 piece tablebases are more than that. These packages are not frivolous at all, but only a handful of people are going to be interested.
Then maybe crafty should get better compression? :)
Actually, these files ARE in a highly optimized format. They represent billions and billions of chess endgame positions (All chess positions with 5 pieces left on the board) to allow crafty to play these positions perfectly.
