Let's say you have two apps. You do a lot of work and make one of the apps half the file size it used to be. If the numbers were accurate, then you could watch them to see if more people keep your app installed with its new smaller size. Maybe they do. Maybe running out of space is rare now and they don't. If you can evaluate the effectiveness, then you can decide if you should do it for your other app, or maybe if you should reduce the size of your one app more, etc..
