Why does this application include a private RSA key?

I downloaded an application, based on electron. I then decompiled the app.asar file. And I found two strange files: "server.cert" and "server.key". The private RSA key corresponds to the certificate.

I was wondering what this could be used for. Have any developers forgotten their key? Or is it for SSL encryption? But in that case, why include the private RSA key?
