Why does my iPad 2 download retina-capatible graphics?

does else think it's little ridiculous app store can't selectively ignore app files irrelevant hardware? i've downloaded couple "retina display ready" updates, seem take more space...

apple, understand don't want create fragmented ecosystem, i'd prefer smaller app sizes.

 

because apps designed both versions. want developers create 2 separate versions retina , non-retina?
