I agree... and someone else pointed out that the module's independance
permits to update each of them without risk ... I agree too.
I think also that grass is huge and nobody uses all the programs.
There is probably a way to split grass in a core (main modules),
and somes packages well defined that you can load or not depending
your needs (USGS DEM or TIGER files are generaly not very usefull
in Europe :-)
