They won't benefit? Their choice. From what I gather, it is really supposed to be so that an average Linux user, who is not a real techie, can get better support from their vendor. Places which ban devices such as you mentioned will just be forced to do things the older way. On Fedora, I run "abrt". This functionality can be used to "package up" all the information from an application (not system) crash and format it up to do a Bugzilla search and also open a new Bugzilla issue. That is, if you have a Bugzilla account with the vendor. Which I don't. I really need to set that up.
