It's a convention that fills a gap for packaging and distributing Python environments and applications on MS Windows. Bundles have the advantages of being a full Python environments - similar to venvs - , so you can install packages with pip, use them in an IDE, etc. But Bundles are also self-contained, path-independent and portable to other Windows machines similar to PyInstaller-created single executables.
