Why would they do that, visually in the store?

I'm not sure what you're asking here. Why would who do what?
Why would they show the full size including bitcode when you go to download it, when it doesn't get sent to the device anyway.
The size I'm referring to is shown in iTunes Connect, which is the administrative side of the App Store that the developer uses to manage their app releases. As far as I'm aware the size shown in the App Store's user-facing UI does reflect the size that will be downloaded by the device. I think it's possible to see this size in iTunes Connect, but since I don't myself have any apps in the App Store I can't easily verify this.
You can see the per-device estimated App Store file sizes in iTunes Connect:

(navigate to your app) > Activity > All Builds > (select the version) > (select the build) > App Store File Sizes
