The same goes with mobile apps then and now. I remember a time when Instagram was about 20-30mb large and today it's like 200mb and more.
The bloat in modern software is just incredible, meanwhile there's very little new functionality for the users. Things just get slower and buggier as opposed to better in any tangible terms.
