So if I understand this correctly, this enables us to add more worker factory at runtime?

This enables the use-case where a library that uses WorkManager uses a different WorkerFactory. So an application could add the library provided WorkerFactory to the list of delegates.

You should add your libraries at startup, not at some point after your app and WorkManager have been initialized.
