Most blockbuster games are over 64gb on their own these days. You couldn't install just one of: GTA5, Red Dead Redeption 2, Cyberpunk 2077, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, Forza Motorsport/Horizon, Fallout 4, the list goes on.

At least Todd Howard can't sell Skyrim yet another time, it's already in my steam library.

Any game devs here willing to share how large the code/compiled code output is for these games?

You mean code without resources?

The required storage is listed on the steam store page, Cyberpunk for instance requires 70 GB free.

Yeah - the actual “meat” of games of this scale, I guess most of that is video and texture images or similar

Yeah 3D models and all their LODs, textures with all their layers, (one surface could have half a dozen layers used to render it), the myriad audio and music files. Games can be really humungous orchestrations these days.
