The reason why this is needed at all is because a todo list regularly needs 20 MB updates.
The problem is that there is no incentive for developers to keep their apps small. And since Apple makes money from selling larger phones, they also have an incentive to tolerate bloat. And lastly, your provider will be happy to charge you astronomical fees for downloading that critical update over mobile data.
There's nobody making money from small apps but 2 of 3 parties can monetize bloat. So bloated apps it is!
The name Clips and the QR scanning suggests to me that this will be used for advertisements, like those AR overlays.
