Not a problem at all. :) Please let me know if you spot anything incorrect or confusing in the templates.
36dp is tons of padding, so I think they’re just giving themselves lots of room to do cool things. Zooming and panning could definitely use the extra space.
These examples show the ability off well:
Some other random ideas they could be used for:
Sample a colour from the background to use in other parts of the UI, explicitly knowing it’s a background colour (something you can’t do if it’s a single layer).
Fading in the foreground first, then the background behind it as a transition effect.
Allow an update to just the foreground image, and keep the background static while the top of the icon changes with a push effect.
Some kind of bounce effect for notifications, where the foreground and background jump out of time (think macOS Dock bounce, but a bit more fun).
I think they just want to keep their options open, and this new icon format should serve them well for the future.
