I don't understand the article's point about ISP speeds. Really if you're on a slow enough ISP that a <1MB file is too large for someone to download, then practically speaking they won't be able to download anything smaller either.

Because it's not that single ~1MB file that's a problem, it's the cumulative effect. There are people on dialup and GPRS and even people who pay by the megabyte.
Have you considered that some applications might have more than one executable?
