It's a very large game. The app stores don't want to have to store the entire game on their servers, so the 'base' game is what you get. The rest of the game comes from FM's servers. Since different devices have different storage capabilities, you can choose to download all assets, or just download files as you need them.

There are probably a lot of people who couldn't play the game, if they had to download the entire thing.
