They seem to be too big for what devs claim to be a 'minor patch' and yet too small to suggest a complete reinstallation of the app. Is there some technical reason behind it? I would like to request an ELI5 for this.

I think windows update does that, or at least used to do. That's why it is so slow to update, because you need every update in succession, you can't just grab the latest one.
