However the bandwidth available to me does not allow me (neither by cost nor time) to download ~10.000 packages a year which I will never need nor use.
so you have to live with the fact that non- mandatory features (which you would claim mandatory for your machine) are not automatically installed.
This is not about installing this is about the fact that an "cosmetic" update removed (vital) functionality which had been deliberately installed by the user.
There are no "cosmetic" updates on Tumbleweed.
You are crying out loud
No, I'm not "crying out loud". I'm just pointing out that there is an update that breaks working systems. To me that was not a real problem (the bluez package had been messed up the same way a few weeks ago) except that i had to spend quite a while searching a LAN port.
because a default install installs too much, but are also blaming people for making the distribution more modular, so features not required by everyone are optional? Spot the error?
Which error? That on one hand the distribution is made more modular while on the other hand people who make use of that modularity are finger-pointed?

PS: I doubt
Well, it is up to you whether you believe me or not. I do not really care ... the bandwidth argument. I have 16Mbps, and that is sure more than
enough for a couple of machines with different architectures, and doing Homeoffice. And when you use zypper in "download only" mode, time also becomes a non-issue (download first, install whenever suitable).
