Actually 7.3 can't really be a normal release because it looks to be over
3000% better compared to 7.1.3 and over 2000% compared to 7.2, based on the
Windows installation packages. 

Has Legato re-invented bloatware? or are they trying to match Veritas
BackupExec in size ?

Just in case you didn't notice, the Windows package now has a size of about
220MB compared to 8MB (7.1.3) and 12MB (7.2)

Actually they are. 7.1.4 being a patch release IS listed on that page. 
7.3 is not a patch release so is not there, but if you go to the eval 
request page it is included in the versions you can request.

Although the logic behind this thinking is slightly flawed (i.e. you can 
have a patch release that is nevertheless a full installation package 
but you can't have a major release), it is in fact consistent with 
Legato's normal practice.
