There is security.

The other things is bug-fixing. The way it currently works is that bugs often only get fixed for one version and other issues like that.

Getting this stuff open and having upstream heavy fixing of bugs will imporve the ecosystem.

The other things is performance. Faster boot times are quite nice.

The other things is being able to better play with more advanced boot security concepts, booting with Bluetooth/NFC verification and so on.

And once its open, and you can more easily work with it, and its more available, hopefully more people do more interesting work with it.

That said, its not an absolute priority for me, but its just a better long term solution. So companies that push it are a big plus.
