How large is pretty big? And who said it must be installed by default?

Hyper-V is enabled by default on supported hardware.

Python data science containers are on the order of GBs.

I did end my comment with thoughts that I think it would be nice to have as an optional install. Mentioning why it isn't likely a default install is relevant because they want this Python feature to be accessible to everyone and they want people to collaborate and the UX for an optional install isn't what they were looking for and would complicate things. (That's not an argument against also supporting the optional install, but a reasoning for why the optional install is a harder feature to support and doesn't make the "version 1" cut.)

Yes. And SSDs are on the order of 100s and 1000s of GBs.

How do you know these things?

It won't be accessible to everyone until it's installable. Collaboration is not cloud exclusive. The UX isn't what they were looking for is circular.
