We have the resources. We may as well use them. I'm not denying that developers can get sloppy and should be more mindful of resources. But 70mb seems like a very small price to pay to ensure a user has some level of instant familiarity with a new system. Same reason why Apple put Safari, and used the Safari icon, when they made iOS and why Chrome has mostly replaced "Browser" on newer Android systems as the default web browser. Familiarity matters.

Why does the 70mbs even matter?
frankly i have enough of this sloppy attitude which is the reason that machines these days are magnitudes slower then they should be given 1000 times more ressources than machines with a 466 MHz PC and 192 MB RAM which was capable to run a Windows 2000 Advanced Server inclduing AD, running VMware with a Linux as well Photoshop and CorelDraw at the same time - people with your attitude got developers and are burning down careless ressources instead use them wisely
if somebody is not able to install Firefox or whatever package he wants to use he should honestly refrain to use computers because he most likely wants to run more than that not default installed packages from the repos
