Except that it's expensive for spammers to send large messages because they are sending millions. Every extra byte is multiplied by a large factor.
Likewise, it's not at all unusual for SpamAssassin installations to bypass scanning for messages over some certain size because scanning is expensive, so Hotmail is not nearly unique in this.
