As it’s been explained to me the biggest benefit is for countries that don’t yet have this infrastructure built. For countries that do have this built, it’s been explained to me as a cost savings compared with hiring a government contractor to maintain or improve the service. Especially in the context of InfoSec. Not only do these legacy services need to keep being updated because of potential zero-days but also even the expensive contractors (even mega-cap corporations) fuck up InfoSec “relatively” regularly and the cheaper government contractors are only going to be worse on average. Having the worlds best minds build and test the InfoSec of different crypto solutions seems like it will just be the cheapest option in the long run.
