Installed MacTeX - but why is it almost 5GB in size?

You might claim that it would be better if you could pick-and-choose the things that you want to install and I would agree but this is open source software with no ads maintained (mostly) by volunteers. You can read the source code to see what you're getting and (last time I checked) you can compile the source yourself if you want.
