Why don't just put those files into the advanced update package?

My server allows for the files to be written directly to the disk, something your server probably does not support. It's to keep any code modifications you have done to your files, so they're custom. That's why.

Upload the files you've "downloaded" from the installer and upload them into your phpBB directory via FTP and update the database. Please read this as well: https://www.phpbb.com/support/docs/en/3 ... _advanced/

I think that means the advanced update package does not have any updates, but a program for comparing different versions?.

No, it does. It contains updated information on the files that need to be updated and it compares them to your modified files, then creates new updated files that contain your custom changes alongside updated phpBB code.
