Well for me 20GB would take ~ 5.5 hours to download (1MB/s is my top speed), but more importantly use up 2/5 of my monthly quota. If I hit that I get throttled down to 256kbps (~ 25 kB/s) which is nearly unusable on the modern internet and would stop me playing online effectively until the month ended.
Personally I've always had very little patience for day 1 patches, regardless of the size. I get that there is lead time with stamping the disks, but if you aren't ready then you shouldn't be in production. It comes down to this ongoing trend of game developers using paying customers as beta testers, ship something that works just well enough to not be considered broken, then fix with patches. Now its going beyond that, with game developers leaving actual game content to a patch because they can't finish it in time for production start. If the trend continues it'll end up with the disks being merely used to store a code that allows you to download the entire game.
