Now that this functionality is more widely known, I can foresee it

applications or data backed up for whatever reason.
Developers need not abuse this com.apple.XcodeGenerated extended
attribute to achieve this end. It's fully supported by Backup Core,
the technology behind Time Machine. See the docs for
CSBackupSetItemExcluded.
Apple encourages application developers to exclude from backup files
and folders which the developer deems should not be backed up. Things
like caches, that can be rebuilt on demand. Or things like temporary
files. Etc.
