Well, some people write needlessly verbose code or don't arrange it very
well. For instance if there's a section of code that gets run a dozen
times, then you'd want to write it as a function or a library and call
it a dozen times, rather than actually having the code written a dozen
times.
Another thing is, a lot of small programs are small because they have
been compressed. Some devs don't know how to compress programs or don't
bother doing so.
