It's not that it necessarily makes it too big, it's that it makes it bigger. That's just one of the compromises one faces in choosing the right tool for the job. While good practices certainly help, they don't necessarily make one platform perform as well as another in a given situation.

A suppressor added to a handgun also makes the system that much larger - and more easily grabbed or deflected.
