What is the USB port on the controller for?

Just got the P4 pro + plus and the manual as well as a search here is very light on information on the use of the USB port on the controller. I bought a bundle that included a USB flash drive and it has me baffled as to the use.

It can be used to enable the RC my to run the 3rd party app Litchi.

I have the plus. Still possible to run Litchi?

You will need to purchase another copy of Litchi from the Amazon site. (there are 3 variants of Litchi, Ios, Android @ playstore and Andriod @ Amazon each must be purchased separately)

Is there any other benefit of have the USB port? It would seem that DJI wouldn't put it there just to take advantage of third party apps. Really curious in that a USB memory stick came with the unit. Thanks all.
