Paint is one executable file, no? Getting rid of this does literally nothing to combat bloat and seems like a pointless move that will irritate users.

On the other hand, this basically means just one line to the script to be run on each fresh install of Windows. It's not like we lost the license to use Paint, did we?

You mean in order to place it back on the machines? Sure, just one line.

But there seems to be a rather big difference between basic software that is guaranteed to be available and software that requires any amount of scripting/preparation to install, even if it is just one line.

Yeah, but that executable file is like 335 kilobytes, or at least it was in Windows XP. * checks Win10 * My goodness it's 6,520 kilobytes now. At that rate of growth... * back of napkin math * KILL IT!!
