Yeah, ugh! Who needs other language support anyway, we everyone should just learn English! And pictures! In a messaging app! Everyone should learn to use and read the entire breadth of human emotion via colon and a letter. :p
That's not bloat. Bloat is transporting an apple with a bus (that is transporting nothing else). Modern software bloat is like then transporting that bus via an aircraft carrier, and moving that aircraft carrier by nuking the ocean in the direction into which it should fall. It's not very good.
Somehow I wouldn't be surprised if Messenger had more LOC than an early OS...
Software today has gotten too complex and bloated in a lot of cases.

A typical configuration was 2 to 4 MB of RAM. Just how much OS complexity can you stuff into that?
