Why are H/Ks so small?

Seeing as the big nasty ships like golems and dire guardians have bigger icons, why are the significantly nastier H/Ks so small in comparison?

The better to hide in giant clouds of ships, so you wonder why your fleet is vaporizing so fast.  :)

I believe there is a mantis post about requesting it to be bigger.  You'd have to search for it.  It's not an incredibly recent report

They are tailored to hunt down and kill humans, as their name suggests. Their small size implies a low materials cost, but their rarity implies the process is long and complicated. Highly efficient, if you have a renewable source of power.

In other words, perfect for an artificial intelligence.
