I think being upstream compatible with Debian is the biggest advantage to this rpi release. Raspbian/Debian 32 bit is not compatible with armhf, so being able to use everything that is upstream as-is is so good.
Also, I assume this widens the containers out there that are compatible?
Fedora and Debian already have 64 bit releases for many years for Pi 3 (and also Pi 4 since a year or so, Debian since bullseye) with their normal release kernel. I fail to get excited about this.
