The problem is you are assuming that the average PC gamer is as smart as you and will tolerate being told to "wait" as something downloads even though it is minimizing your HDD space. From a customer service point of view is better to tolerate bitching about big downloads or a litany of complaints caused by unintended consequences of modular downloads? One big download is a very KISS approach and probably why it sticks around.
Then as a test, limit the modular downloads to language packs at first. Set the default language download to whatever language the downlading program is displaying in and then have a popup asking to check the box for additional languages. Saves time for the user in terms of reduced downloading, saves bandwidth, saves load on the server, and no wide array of options to screw up.
