Hi Brian,
Thanks for your comment.

The point is to make migration to and from WordPress fast and easy, instead of complicated and dependent on custom solutions. It’s evident when reading the announcement post and the discussions on the project’s GitHub/Slack.

In today’s digital environment—where vendor lock-in is a business model—deciding to invest in tools and processes that make it easier for people to choose which platform they want to use is a political act.

Lastly, WordPress.org doesn’t store data :-)
