Its not about bare metal, its about owning the whole stack and giving visibility into every nook and corner, and then supporting that open sourced code. Every network switch, every interconnect, every piece or firmware or software they can attest to because they built it themselves, and that is worth its weight in gold to high criticality industries and governments. They can give you the provenance for every single hardware and software component. Every chip.

If you can roll around those possibilities in your head, you start to see how absolutely unique this is and why these extremely sensitive and important customers and industries want this.
