VS can be pretty small, but there are 1000's of optionals. My 2019 Enterprise with lots of boxes checked is 6Gb (in the program dir, it also has some runtimes etc outside.).

Considering the last patch for just one of the games I play was 50+ Gb, it's pretty reasonable...

If you'll carefully maintain your Android Studio installation, it's not that bad. People usually installing multiple SDKs, images which take quite a lot of space.

The system images are the big ones. The SDK + sources for a given platform isn't that big, like ~100MB. The system image + saved emulator state is easily ~2-5GB though.
