Media and games. Only loaded and run when I’m using them.

Package dependencies? How much of that is loading at runtime? How many security holes and exploits is some sub, sub, sub package going to introduce?

It’s true. And it’s worse since people worry about the security of the OS but download large batches of suspect apps and games.
