Every time an application is updated, macOS re-verifies the binary.md

That is, if a loading bar pops-up that says "verifying application" or something like that when you are launching, say, your web browser, it means that the web browser has updated itself. Why? Because when the web browser updates itself, the binary file on your computer changes. When the binary changes, macOS re-verifies the binary.
