It is the metadata for every device -- every fwupd client deliberately gets the entire catalog rather than making a bespoke request like Windows update. This ensures that the LVFS doesn't know what hardware you have on your computer, and couldn't provide that kind of data even if compelled to by law enforcement. The entire architecture is privacy centric, and also allows it to scale to millions of devices without having thousands of servers.
