I think this is one of Ubuntu's greatest features: 

 - DVD burners still comparatively rare, especially in the non-western
   world

 - an even higher issue is bandwidth: the bigger the installation isos
   are, the fewer people can download them

 - it encourages us to not bloat the CD too much by filling it with
   duplicated libraries, applications, etc. Keeping the default ubuntu
   installation lean and mean can only be a competitive advantage IMHO

(just my personal feeling)
