TL;DR; The VS2010 ISO is small because it excludes MSDN documentation, which is not yet available offline; users can access documentation online instead.
The reason is simple, it has no MSDN documentation in it. I for one never install the MSDN documentation and just use the online version and have always found it a pain to have it inside the same installation, but may people find it useful.
