You could make that argument about any other significant part of the JRE package. Should any JRE installation support CORBA? I don't think so. It is an issue of modularization over and over again.
I think JRE could be provided in a more light-weight configuration with the ability to download and install additional components as needed. That should be a fair compromise between JRE size and compatibility.
