that, when installed, allow the user to not install certain features

Such programs can be described as "dysfunctional when installed" and distributed by advocates of false and misleading advertising, who sense of morality, and ethics, is completely, utterly, and absolutely non-existent.

doing it this way is to keep the initial download size of our product as
 small as possible.

Download size is irrelevant.

As it is, an HR attorney can give corporate 100 000 reasons to not use OOo.
???? What does all that have to do with making the installation of a
 particular feature of an app optional?

Without the JRE installed, OOo is dysfunctional.

And, what is "section 508"? I had

That law defines the ally standards that federal, state, and local government agencies and bodies have bide by. Without the JRE, OOo fails that standard. With it, it is a toss up as to whether or not it complies with that standard. I'd suggest that it fails that standard, but other people claim otherwise. Both sides can point to a number of things with OOo that support their conclusion.

you were talking about with "a11y", which seems to have nothing at all to do 
with the topic at hand.

With the default distribution including the JRE, a non-winnable lawsuit because a marginal lawsuit. It might seem like a little thing to you, but when somebody is looking at the costs of adopting OOo, that difference can be as much as $10^6 in legal fees.

And when it comes down to the bottom line, that $10^6 in legal fees will mean that Microsoft is selected, because the potential cost of OOo is significantly less than that of Microsoft Office.
