This tool keeps getting mentioned so extensively on so many link aggregators that the level of attention it is receiving looks more like the result of a marketing campaign than organic behavior. I have no idea why anyone would want to market an open source USB boot tool, but something about how often this tool keeps popping up seems off.

The earliest code executed on a computer is part of the TCB, especially as a meta-installer, so it has long-term strategic value. Same reasons why lower-level access is valuable. Plus everyone has experienced the pain of USB boot, making free usable tools attractive.
