Are you sure they don't provide full previews in the Finder? Try Get Info.

Why? Sure, when aliases were introduced, they were tiny files -- but previews didn't exist then. The small size was really an artefact -- their role was to keep pointing to an original file, and that hasn't changed. They now support previews, which potentially makes them much more useful. Are you saying that the extra functionality should have been sacrificed to save bytes?
