I'm glad they included and expanded on this point. I used to be stuck on a gingerbread device that wouldn't let me install anything larger than a megabyte due to storage issues. I was always grateful to devs who kept their APK sizes in the kilobytes. Now I have a Nexus 5 and install 30MB+ APK's without hesitation because that seems to be the status quo. Does anyone know why most apps these days are so bloated in size? Is it all the frameworks and libraries we use?
