a long time ago users had to have the knowledge and abilty to define
what they wanted in a new install. Now we get about 3 gigabytes of
shtuff with even the simplest install with a functioning x engine and
too much nonsense slips in hidden from our eyes.
perhaps there is a need for a more detailed install menu?

What is an acceptable amount of disk space to use in an installation of
a desktop, consumer- or engineering-oriented computer with a graphical
user interface?

As for a detailed install menu, it exists already. You have
package-level control of what is included when you install openSUSE
Linux.
