After ARROW-10131 ParquetFileFragment wraps a FileMetaData, from which all its properties are queried. FileMetaData is emminently serializable, so when pickling a fragment with pre-loaded metadata it would save redundant IO to just serialize the metadata. (An unpickled fragment would then also have pre-loaded metadata.)
