When smart delivery was announced people thought it was just Xbox making a big deal of a feature that didn't need a spotlight. Now as we move closer to a year on the launch of the consoles smart delivery is a feature that has been superb for X/S users.
Heres an example of where smart delivery just makes life so much easier for X/S users:
A Plauge tales Innocence save transfer from last gen to current gen:
Xbox:
Thanks to the game supporting Smart Delivery, everything you have done on the Xbox One version will automatically be ready for you when you start the Xbox Series X/S version.
Playstation:
Download the PS4 version of A Plague Tale: Innocence on your PS5.
You then need to download that save file from the cloud, and since you are playing the updated PS4 version, your file will now be compatible with the PlayStation 5 version.
Reupload it back to the cloud and download the updated PS5 version of the game.
You can now transfer your progress by downloading that data again in the PS5 application.
This has been the trend for other games and while it may not be a huge selling point it just makes life that much easier for X/S owners.
EDIT:
This graph on twitter sums it up really well.
