Note that these two things are orthogonal.  You can get an unofficial
CD-sized installer with non-free firmware, but without desktop
environments and other large packages.  Or you can get a DVD-sized
installer with desktop environments but without non-free firmware.
Or you can get a DVD-sized installer with both.

The official Debian installers lack non-free firmware packages for
philosophical reasons, not size reasons.
