I really have no idea how companies handle these kind of decisions. It just seem plausible that a semi-technical manager that have to greenlight a project could use the app size as a parameter. There is no need to artifically inflate the size. I can imagine how a 10x smaller than competitor app could be seen as a sign of a problem more than a positive.

Ah, I hadn't considered that a smaller size could be seen as a symptom of an inferior/incomplete feature set when compared with competitors.
