Because the KDE SIG still procrastinates dropping Firefox, even though it is 
a non-KDE application that has no business being on the KDE Spin, and Falkon 
is definitely a better default these days. As you wrote:

And Konqueror doesn't really need to be there by default either, though at 
least it is a KDE application and shares most code with Falkon (QtWebEngine, 
for web browsing) and Dolphin (the file manager code), so the size impact is 
much lower.

XTerm is getting dragged in by dependency bloat somewhere. It is not 
explicitly installed by the live kickstart. Konsole is the native KDE 
terminal emulator that should be there.

The proprietary competition also installs this type of games by default.
