What's throwing me off is the wiki says this about the Bundle
generator: "Rationale: de-facto standard mechanism for distributing
bundles." Unless that's only specifically referencing the previous
sentence about distributing a compressed disk image.

Which it is ... not sure what the confusion is?

Is there any documentation about why one would choose the Bundle
generator over DragNDrop?

Sometimes you need more control over the contents of a bundle than DragNDrop provides. For example, you might have a single bundle containing a "main", graphical UI application plus secondary helper applications that run in the background. BundleGenerator gives you flexibility to create such a bundle, whereas DragNDrop would create a dmg with several bundles, one-per-app. Of course, the cost is greater complexity.

Cheers,
