If you have set up a vertical screen cabinet, it is not really useful for playing Gradius on it, so why have (load) all this extra code on a cabinet that will never use it?
Also, because this seems to still be unclear to people: only the parts of the MAME executable that are actually used by a given emulation are loaded by the operating system. So you only incur the disk space cost, and Newegg is pretty much giving away drives under 1 TB nowadays.
