Play App Signing does have this benefit for app developers, but its main 
purpose is to deliver app downloads optimised for the user's device and 
therefore smaller. For example, if you are using an arm64-a8v device, 
Play Store will deliver a package with only native libraries for your 
arm64-a8v device. In comparison, old-style packages would typically 
include both armeabi-v7a and arm64-a8v native libraries, and some even 
x86 or x86_64 native libraries. Downloads can also be optimised for 
screen resolution and language.

Kind regards,
