In a sense. The legitimate interest would be if there is ever a push to allow more interoperability, and more consumer rights over digital content, and we do seek political support for those of changes, say, to change copyright law, or to control what can be put into a licensing agreement, then this kind of study helps defuse any claim a vendor might make that they NEED a closed, locked proprietary system for any of the reasons mentioned in the study.
