Insane if you think about how little functionality this kind of app needs. Millions of lines of code for what?

I bet they have a copy of every native library they use except like libc, and probably don't do any dead code elimination on those. And maybe they also have copies of the app for different ARM versions. And then an additional 20MB of JavaScript because everyone does these days.

Wouldn't it mostly be assets like logos, maps, icons, etc?

Maps would be much more. Maybe some icons but the app is online only so most things could be loaded live. Its probably just god awful bloated js libraries.
