I don't think that's monstrous at all. To put things in perspective, that
100MB that you call "all this bloat" is about ten US cents worth of disk
space or less. 100MB used to be a lot of disk space. Today it's next to
nothing.

Still, why waste space on deadweight if you don't have to? That's like
saying spamvertising is a good advertising model because you offload the
entire cost of advertising onto the recipient.

Are there any good, free, generic replacements for the Adobe Reader?

Although I've never used it myself, many people like Foxit reader.

It's not free nor generic, though.
