I've never seen a runtime group, can you explain why it's necessary?

It's just that this dependency is needed at runtime while other existing groups in the file are development and test, so creating a new group was necessary. Maybe your question is, does it need a group? No, it could live outside a group. I do use runtime group as it's easier to understand what is it needed for rather than having no group. Anyway, bundle install everything by default, one have to explicitly exclude a group.
It's also consistent with add_runtime_dependency vs add_development_dependency in the Gemspec.

Example:

TL;DR: it's not necessary, just more elegant and make it easier to understand what teh dependency are used for.

gem 'bigdecimal', '~> 3.1', '>= 3.1.9'
end
