What is the use of artifacts:untracked in the artifacts?
I see that untracked files e.g. binaries are part of the artifacts without setting untracked: true.
So what is the use of it?

By default, when you define artifacts in a job, any files specified in .gitignore will be ignored and not included in the artifact.

Setting untracked: true will not use .gitignore, i.e. all untracked files will be included. Since untracked: false is the default, adding that won't do anything.

You can find more information at artifacts:untracked.

artifacts:untracked ignores configuration in the repository’s .gitignore file.

If you use untracked: false, the artifacts won't have any files/folders ignored by .gitignore.
