TxF, because of its very nature, does everything extremely conservatively by default. For performance and fragmentation reasons, it doesn't repack its metadata store as a rule, kinda like how NTFS never repacks the MFT without help.
There are other verbs in the fsutil resource section to make it more disk space-friendly, but they can theoretically compromise its functionality. Doing a one-shot auto-reset (and then setting it back to default) is, in my experience, the best way of dealing with a bloated, or corrupted TxF metadata store (the latter of which can cause installing updates or MSIs to break; if you have a machine that you've tried everything you can think of, and it still won't let you install updates, this may be the issue).
