7GB isn't that much. My Lore template weighs in at more than twice that...
The problem I see with modular templates and loading things as you go is that you're going to have to be repeating the same procedures over and over. Need an instrument? Browse for it, load it, set the volume, pan it, add reverb, add any eventual extra processing, etc. Why not keep all the basic building blocks loaded and ready to go so you won't have to hassle with that when all you want to do is keep composing? At least that's my view on having a large, complete(ish) templates. I mean sure, I don't have exotic or uncommon instruments loaded by default, but I don't see why I wouldn't want the entire orchestra loaded. Conserving RAM? I don't normally do anything else on my machine while I'm working in my DAW, to avoid dropouts and glitches, so if the RAM is there and not needed for anything else, why not use it?
Not trying to convince anyone mind you, just expressing why I find it hard to wrap my head around the "load things as needed" approach. It just seems like a lot more work.
