I'm guessing (literally, I have no idea if this is true) that if these synthetic fuels can be stored and transported in the same way as normal petrol then you wouldn't have to build that much more distribution infrastructure. Instead you could just repurpose what's already there. Obviously you still have to make the stuff, which involves capital investment, but so does building gigafactories, the power plants necessary to generate the extra electricity and upgrading the grid.

Which is highly desirable for developing nations, who will be driving ICEs well into the 2040s since a large chunk of their supply is used stuff exported from rich nations.
