They're talking about "pushing data to new users". I suspect for some reason their game works like those mobile games that only have a basic installer on the store and then need to download a whole bunch of extra data from their own servers.
You might be onto something, I Believe Godus also launched on Android (and maybe iOS) simultaneously, so maybe they did develop the game with a mobile first approach.
It "launched" (early access of course) on Android a few months after PC, but I wouldn't be surprised if they anticipated that and made it so all versions work in the same way.
Maybe it was a way for them to get rid of the update submission process on the different platforms.
