OK, I could see that, I suppose. Although even 2M isn't an enormous download by most of today's standards, I don't think. And the player is 2.4M (though obviously it only needs to be downloaded once unless there are auto updates involved).
This may count as a specialized situation, but if you are particularly concerned about size, then there may be a case for distributing stacks. Stacks can be small (5-20K), but standalones are (I think) typically upwards of 1.75M If you have many dial-up (or even GSM modem) connected users, that might be a case for distributing stacks.
So I can see if you had a business where you were creating lots of stackware apps for an installed base that could all have the Player installed then each download of your stuff would be small and painless. I'm not sure what business or business model that would be, but I can imagine it is possible.
