Since when "being tight on storage space" is a "specific and unusual" case?

That's the whole marketing strategy of selling devices with small built-in storage (and no expandable storage, as iPhones do).

In any case, not wanting a ~150MB installation file to silently download and shit a ~4GB file all over your filesystem is not an unusual* case.

As sufficiently many people have pointed out.
