Why? Because GM must contain 128 instruments and 7 drum kits, thus they are constrained by the total sample size (KBs).


This is not really true.
I have GM sample sets ranging in size from a few meg to a few gig.
The GM spec does not restrict the sample size; the synth/hardware does.

'Finding' a good GM sample set is a whole 'nother problem, but the spec isn't the issue. There could be more awesome GM sound sets if there were a market for it.

I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome
