Have you loaded Visual C++ lately.   The 70 MB includes, source, binaries,
help, and many other tools.  With the Win32 stuff you only get binaries and help.

Why is the software associated with development so big?  70 megabytes for the
legOs development system?  I think there is something fundamental I'm missing
here.

The RCX is an H8, an 8 bit micro, certainly no more complicated than a 68HC11.
Even the more complicated development packages are under 1 megabyte.  Is a lot
of the program GUI?  It might be I'm spoiled by DOS.  I just don't see why
it's so big.
