This isn't actually true.

The large data size affects the training, but the model itself is pretty small now (after some hard work on Google's part).

The thing everyone seems to be missing is that Android's (English) voice recognizer is offline[1]. While you can use the online model I suspect that is more about continual update of the model (so it understands new words and changing accents etc) rather than recognition.

Android's speech recognizer has a compact/offline mode, but that's definitely not what's run by default.
