Well yes? Have you played the game? It's got lot of content and is very pretty.

Those high resolution textures will just take space. You could obviously decrease the graphical fidelity but I'd guess that most players (me very much included) would rather play a very pretty 23GB Helldivers II than a 5GB ugly Helldivers II.

150GB was very annoying, ironically forcing me to install it to a HDD. 23GB isn't even worth thinking about for me.
