This is a legacy path in the installer they are abusing.
Pre-install scripts are only supposed to do things like check if you have prerequisites installed, eg if your app requires some version of Python or whatever.
Instead they are abusing that to just install everything immediately.
There is literally no reason for it beyond saving one or two clicks.
