Simple: heat dissipation. Think of the difference in the heat generated by RF power amp of a 4 watt CB versus the one that produces the 50 watts or more of typical 2m ham rig and you'll understand why the ham rig has to be larger. The case of my 70 watt IC-2200H (which is not a large radio at all) is a one-piece cast aluminum heat sink.

All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
Yeah, but ham radio OEM's already have put a 4W transceiver VHF into a hand-held package. Many times :)
Oh, sure. My VX-2R is tiny, not much bigger than the mic on my 2200H. It doesn't get out as well, though.

Yeah but what is its max power? 5w?
Well... nevermind... I see that the Cobra is only 4w too.
All CB rigs are 4 watts max, per FCC regs.

I see what you did there with the disclaimer.
A clear conscience is usually a sign of a bad memory
