There are multiple ways of how to make updates.

One is to just download a list of changes and apply them locally on the existing files, but this can fail if someone tinkered with them.

Second is to just download the whole file and replace the already existing one. This takes more time and data, but it guarantees success.

In your example they choose second method. You download 80GB update and that will replace 80GB of your game.
