Why are Realtek drivers 900 MB big?

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Look for them on https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Home.aspx in the search box using the ID string like (example) you find in the driver details
PCI\VEN_1414&DEV_00E0&SUBSYS_00000000&REV_04
and you will find the latest WHQL drivers, and in general just what's needed to use your device and not all kind of bloatware/software that you'll never use.
The big size is not really a problem. I'm just wondering why it's like that.
Thanks anyway :)
