Well here is an application that defies your approach: the Android clock. 17Mb update to that just now, vanilla android. Plus Google do some diff. style updates so that is probably a lot more and for a clock. Presumably it has 17Mb of updated alarms in surround sound and presumably these are needed however I can't see any other obvious bloat potential as the clock should use Android UX.

How can a clock need the equivalent of a box of floppies? Windows 3 and 3.1 together comes to the same Mb and that comes with a clock.

These clocks did not have high fidelity long ringtones and billion of options. And especially no Google calendar support. ;)
