I think this indicates you don’t own https://www.logos.com/product/199/greek-english-lexicon-of-the-new-testament-based-on-semantic-domains?queryId=83e555073bcbaf4749413033c2f643e7 - or have not downloaded it to your computer

I definitely don't own it
Why is it showing
Is it a valuable resource so much so they incorporated it into the app?
Is strongs not good enough?

It is showing because you have the reverse interlinear for the Bible which includes Louw-Nida (semantic domain) tagging which categorises words into groups of similar type.

Yes, it is extremely necessary to supplement your word studies. It’s one of the standard lexicons in Bible studies.

In the academic world, Strong's is not good enough. It was a brilliant solution for paper studies based on the limited vocabulary of a particular translation tradition. There is no reason other than personal familiarity with it, to use Strong's in computer supported Bible study.
Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

The things on the left side of the popup are not resources. They are pieces of information that are tagged on the text you have selected. In this particular case, it is tagging of a particular format (Louw-Nida) that is used to indicate the meaning of words within a specific context. The options on the right side of the popup are things you can do with that tagging. In your case, you have nothing in the Look Up area (that would be resolved with access to the resource Graham mentioned), but other options on the right side may still be valuable, and may return results for you even without that book. For example, the searches and the Cited By tool may have value.
If you aren't familiar with Louw-Nida numbers, then this might not be something you are interested in, but there is value in the option appearing there, even if you don't own the specific book that allows you to look up Louw-Nida numbers and find definitions.

Take a very much for your explanation
I didn't forget about replying I just didn't get a chance to it.
I would look this evening when I am at home and I'll find look at what you're saying the thing is is that I'm very interested I'm interested in it.
there is honestly I think a little to no part that I'm not interested in it's just a lack of knowledge of how to do it honestly I find fascinating but time I just don't have as much to spend learning thanks again for your help I will definitely go to it soon

Here's what it looks like. As you can see, the word are all numbered and grouped by semantic domain. Rather than listing words alphabetically they are grouped by a common theme.
So rather than searching for individual words that have something to do with authority, governance, or rule I can search for louwNida:37.48-37.95 since they've already grouped similar words together.
It's also helpful to study the range of meanings for an individual word. Clicking on the footnote g for κρίνω takes me to volume two of the same work:
As you can see, κρίνω has a range within the concept of ruling and governance (37.49) but quite a few options outside of that domain. So when you do the search above it won't just give me every instance of κρίνω but every instance of κρίνω that carries the concept of ruling and authority.
In short, I see it as a concept lexicon.

For quick reference, it's handy and many resources have a link to it. But there are much more advanced things today.
I currently leave Strong low on my prioritization list. The “Lexham Lexicon” of Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek is much more complete than Strong's own.
I've been leaving it first for basic queries, followed by Louw-Nida and Halot/BDAG. That's the priority I use today.
