Some apps use this to autostart and run in the background, and/or provide information about running background tasks.

See Gnome’s version here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/xdg-desktop-portal-gnome/-/blob/main/src/background.c

Two apps that I know use this are Deja Dup Backups and Pika Backup. Without this portal, those apps can’t provide scheduled backup support. I’m sure there are other examples, but that’s one at least.
