Cause big windows are an engineering pain and don't do much good on
something that's not designed to be landable like a VFR airplane.

You can probably still hand "fly" it in some phases, but would rely on
instruments more than looking out the windows. As such the windows are
sized for what's actually needed for important observation, fallback
manual star fixes, and a little sightseeing, ballanced against the
difficulties implied by their size.
