They're obviously used by the installer and other vendors use them too.

This is from NIST.gov (National Institute of Standards and Technology).

SWID Tag files contain descriptive information about a specific release of a software product. The SWID standard defines a lifecycle where a SWID Tag is added to an endpoint as part of the software product's installation process and deleted by the product's uninstall process.
 
They're obviously used by the installer and other vendors use them too.
