OMG! What a bunch of Hoo Ha over nothing! Just resize all the images and quit whinging about it! You have the originals still in the installer if you ever need them! Sheesh!
The reason they don't clog up their installs with dual sizes is this. They don't KNOW what your maximum size needs are! So they provide the best sizes and leave it up to you to figure out if you want 512x512, 800x800, 1024,1024 or whatever.
There are enough things eating up network bandwidth these days without clogging the system with unneccesary redundancy when a little work on your part will resize the final product to satisfy your own personal needs. Just think about the server lag we just had for the Halloween freebies. Now triple that for all these extra redundant textures you're crying about.
Here. Have some cheese!
