Most hardware piano (Roland, Korg...) have 256 Mb soundbanks max (most around 32 Mb). And they are used on stage by big stars, no one complains. Piano is a percussive instrument, it should be possible to have a descent piano that is 'small' so it leave space for more samples in our samplers, and will run in memory. I totally agree with you, there is a sample inflation and it seems that the bigger is the better. But where this will end? Now you spend more time in setup up than playing music!
