    That’s very cool. Excuse my ignorance but couldn’t Dell and Lenovo just…write their own firmware?

      They do write some of the firmware at least such as BIOS updates. This is just a generic update service so you don’t need to install a different updater application for every manufacturer, which is annoying for users and for manufacturers.

      And it also supports updating third party devices like SSDs which Lenovo and the like would prefer to happen without any work on their end.
