I can’t imagine why someone would need to use it either.
-“Hey check out this sweet app.”
“Oh? Cool I’ll grab it from the Play Store”
-“Nah, bro I gotta send it direct.”
“You’re uninvited from my birthday party.”

While it goes in the graveyard, I don’t know of a single person who ever used this.
I can see the appeal for it in apps like F-Droid and Briar where you might want to share an app that may not be available because of an Internet outage (accidental or deliberate).
When I’m traveling internationally I’m limited to 256kbps unless I buy a local sim. Sending an app without cell needed could be useful. Especially if it’s a big app like the DJI app.
Outside of that… nah. Maybe if you’re in rural Africa where cell service is spotty at best. But even there things have improved dramatically.
My aunt has very spotty internet in her house, so a transfer would be quite a bit faster than downloading for bigger apps.
This looks like a project from an L3 who got promoted and immediately left the team afterwards.
