Most likely there are microcode bugs being quietly exploited by powerful actors. Documenting/reversing/auditing the code in public makes it more likely white hats will find these bugs and mitigate them.. which takes a little power away from these actors, or at least costs them a bit of money to find a replacement.. and there's always the chance you find a bug worth billions to the agency exploiting it. So while we may never know about it, this is a big deal.
