I'd hazard a guess that part of the reason is about storing multiple copies of textures at different resolutions. At least, I think it works that way on the Apple store.

That is no longer the case since iOS 9 I think. Unless they didn't update / use the new App Thinning function.

But even if they get 30% reduction promised by App Thinning, they are still HUGE!.

This also applies on Android, supporting most modern devices requires 4 different sets of assets, which have all got larger as screen density has increased.
