I don't mind the size but I feel the other summons are not made with the same level of detail and animations as carbuncle is.
Probably because it's a ported model from XI. Sure it's been touched up a bit.

If they ported the other summons from XI, they would probably be too imposing for the small scale abilities they would have. So to fit the new summons with the scale of what SMN is in XIV as opposed to XI, they are rocks and fire/wind sprites.

Pure speculation by the way.
