Don't get me wrong. 5mb is a lot for this, yes. This app, coded with love and interest could easily be made under 1mb.

This app IS made in under 1mb. The entire app, including all the assets minus all the actual Wikipedia data, is 21kB (no minification or compression). And all of it is in a single html file with human-readable code.

Interesting. I haven't investigated, so I don't know where the 40mb comes from.
