The blog post attempted to explain what makes workerd interesting as a platform, independent of Cloudflare. It allows for a new development model where you split your application into smaller components. Maybe that's interesting to you, maybe it isn't.
But the other reason you might develop on workerd is because you want the option to deploy to Cloudflare later. The advantage of Cloudflare isn't just that it's "edge" and therefore closer to clients -- it's also just a lot easier to deploy code on Workers a lot of the time than it is to manage servers on traditional cloud providers.
