It's done because OEMs are so terrible at shipping patches. They started off giving them 30 days of early embargoed access but it wasn't enough and OEMs found it too difficult to ship patches each month. It also put users at risk from having it broadly disclosed for 30 days.

The new system allows every OEM to ship the patches without an embargo as GrapheneOS does while papering over OEMs taking many months to ship it. It's more secure when used well and covers up the failures.
