Mainly for storage size, especially for embedded devices. Installation time is
small factor. Normally we just want one type of .pyc files. Getting all types
installed at default looks burden to distributors. In some cases we even don't
want any .pyc files at all. For example, if we copy the installed .py and .pyc
file from one file system to another one (say from NTFS to FAT), probably the
mtime of .py file could be changed due to the resolution limit of FAT file
system.

If it's only a matter of storage size, you can easily delete the unwanted
files. Is there another concern?
