Why would anyone send anything that big by email?


Because its easy and pretty reliable.
I have sent 100s of megabyte emails before now.
There is no point in doing so here as the setup program asks for the key
when it installs.
It took me two attempts to register, the servers are overloaded.


It is, generally, easy.

Reliable, I think not. Many email servers refuse to handle such large
emails.

It can also be rather unfriendly. If you know sufficient details you are
possibly in a position to make a reasonable decision but suddenly
finding your limited 3g/4g connection downloading such a large file, to
a device that can't even use it, doesn't seem a good idea. And that can
very easily happen. Especially as there are so many sensible
alternatives such as the near-ubiquitous Dropbox and its rivals.
