I guess I'm struggling to understand what the problem to solve here is (besides security bugs). Maybe that is wrong, and the idea is just to try new things. But seems to me that 'try new things' isn't a particularly strong call to action when you are competing for research funds/time.

That's what basic research does. It discovers new things, and new ways of doing things.

Addressing potential dozens of firmware level of security exploits is no small thing by itself.
