The majority of any bloat in Jetpack is perceived bloat by folks seeing everything it does listed side by side. If you take it feature for feature versus standalone plugins, Jetpack comes out on top.

And if you don't want to use a feature of Jetpack, you just disable it and it's no more bloat than any other inactive plugin. :)
