Why are Microsoft so afraid to do what all their competitors are forced to do, and provide Media Player as a downloadable add-on?

Imagine you're in a position where you don't want Media Player or Internet Explorer on your computer and would rather use RealPlayer and Mozilla. You've still got Microsoft's applications cluttering up your hard drive because they are now apparently unremovable, integral parts of Windows.

I place more value on the hard disk space they take up.
