They're opening the charging network to get access to government subsidies for charging infrastructure. Governments aren't going to fund single brand chargers.
Tesla should also switch to CCS in North America but for the time being it looks like Tesla owners are going to be stuck with Telsa's proprietary charging port. That blocks Tesla owners from 4,577 North American CCS charging locations:

It'd be best if Telsa simply put CCS on the car like they do in Europe. But maybe Tesla's plan is to gouge customers by selling a CCS adapter.
