Why is Acrobat X Pro so $%*#&*@# MASSIVE?

I just picked up a copy of Adobe CS6 Design Standard, mostly for Photoshop and Illustrator, but I do some PDF editing too. While I would probably be better served by a different (lighter) PDF editor, I don't want to pay anything extra now that I spent so much on CS6, for something semi-redundant.

But, 2.1 GB installed? REALLY? Where is all this space going? A basic PDF editor is, what, 60 MB? I understand that Acrobat X does a LOT more than your run-of-the-mill FoxIt editor or the like, but it still seems like a mind-boggling amount of space, considering that the features-packed Photoshop is a mere 300MB or so.

OK, rant over! Thanks for reading.
 
It's gotten this way slowly, with feature creep. 3D, GIS, medical stuff, forms, editing markup, etc. Each new "feature" set has seemed to add 150MB.
