Web browsers have an ideological position that isn't compatible. Mozilla doesn't want to promote anything.
While we can create a system that supports n protocols we really only need a hand full of new things at a time.
The benefit is fetching stuff over ipfs, onion, gopher, freenet, zeronet, dat, blockstack, news and even irc
Until we can visit ipfs://example.com after a clean install the whole project borders a pipe dream.
I argue that if you cant see the benefits we've done a terrible job explaining them to you. It is sort of a chicken and egg problem. Why would I put a news:// link on my website if you cant do anything with it?
The expected behavior is a prompt asking if you want to install a news reader and register with a news server.

Don't expect grandma to figure out that stuff by herself. I might as well not post news:// links. She would just be confused.
