Actually your assumption is wrong. Bitcoin Wallet (and I think most, if
not all, other bitcoinj based wallets) picks UTXO by age, in order to
maximize priority. So it keeps the number of UTXOs low, though not as
low as if it would always pick *all* UTXOs.

Is it not fair to say though that UTXO database growth is not considered when selecting the UTXOs to use? And that size of transaction is a priority if not the top priority?
