All those pre-rendered bitmaps to make it look good on benchmarks?

Did you check how large the installed binary drivers are on your specific machine?
GeForce may have a record breaking InstallerSize/BinaryDriverSize ratio, but I've seen some really bad cases in other software as well.
As others have pointed out, default installation options may include applications that you don't really need. You may uncheck the option, or you may delete the applications any time after installation. Usually, a plain application can be deleted with no consequences for other software, and if you find out it really was needed, most installers can do a repair / reinstall task to get it back.
Note: I am talking about Windows! On a *nix system, you should be extremely careful! Never trust that because you never touch some application or tool, you can delete it. You can be 99% sure that even if you never use, say, a scripting language, so you want to free up disk space by deleting its interpreter. Half a year later, some different installer crashes badly with a cryptic error message because it "knows" (erroneously) that the interpreter is present. It probably was included in your *nix distro, and no one would be so crazy that they remove any part of the distro, would they?
So, I have learned the hard way: Never ever try to "clean up" your *nix installation, especially regarding software development tools. Limit cleanups to you private data files, and leave the rest untouched!

They probably include optimizations for each game, well, at least the ones that pay them to do that.

GeForce Experience, feel free to uninstall it if you don't need it (I like it's video recording capability).

They've based it on Electron so it's cross-platform...
Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p

Plus there's the whole manycore parallel supercomputer thing. Might take a few megabytes for that.

It took you that long to code "Hello World"? Career change maybe?
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

I would not mind a career change

Now, having read Mycroft's post I feel terrible about my post. I do remember, now, your post about having substance problems.
Good to hear you are making it one day at a time, keep it up.
Again my apologies at being flippant.

I hope day 23 through day 700 are easier (one assumes/hopes that after 2 years the habit should be eliminated)
