This is for experimental builds of the OS made to test some specific WIP feature. For example, let's say the distro in question is Asahi Linux and Apple just released the M3 SoC. The Asahi developers will start porting to the M3, and will quickly generate builds of Asahi Linux that can technically boot but aren't ready for any kind of daily use. These images are marked as experimental, and can be shared among the developers. If a user somehow stumbles upon one of these images and tries to install it, they'll be warned that they're about to install an experimental Apple M3 port of Asahi Linux. Eventually, once the Asahi developers think that their M3 port is ready for a wider audience, they can merge it into the mainline Asahi repos, where it will be distributed through the usual nightly CI builds (where RELEASE_TYPE=pre-release; M3 support is no longer experimental).
