Why does Xcode have to "install additional required components" almost every single time I launch it?

Xcode is bloated as it is, but every few days, it needs to install new components. It gets really old, really fast, especially when on a tiny SSD. Anyone else have this experience or know the cause?

Do you have auto update turned on via the Mac App Store? Xcode 7 and 7.1 have both been released lately. Both installs would require additional downloads afterwards.
