they can only be 1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128 (etc) MB. That's why the playstation discs can vary as PC CD-roms do. The same characteristic applies to SNES, Sega Geneses, SMS, NES, Atari systems. So instead of designing a game and have the data take up whatever amount of space it happens to, the cartridge games are made to fill pre-designated ROM sizes.
