It's probably made that way so they can save up bandwidth. On the PS4 you can force all apps to update by rebuilding the library, not optimal but it works.
If they were worried about bandwidth, they could p2p it optionally.
I find it annoying that updates are so large. Surely with delta updates, it should be easy to only have the changed files.
the PS4/PS5 already uses delta updates (if devs want so), that's why patching the games takes forever.
