Ok, that's your opinion, not a universal design rule. 

One could make the same argument for any device that has a fan. Your
transceiver probably has a fan. Does that mean your transceiver isn't big
enough?

These are design tradeoffs that engineers get paid big bucks to make in the
most efficient way. Any fool can slap a bigger part in the circuit and hope
for the best. A good engineer knows exactly what he's doing and why.
