FWIW, this reminds me of one of my pet peeves about Mac OS X software, which is that almost all bundled software installs all available language resources. Wouldn't it be smarter and use less disk space to only distribute the languages a user wants?

Disk space and bandwidth are cheap. All-inclusive bundles have the advantage of being prepare-once, deploy-anywhere, and are useful for the same reasons that Universal Binaries are (fewer support queries, less confusion about which version to download, less cluttered download pages etc).
