I don't see a super explicit one, but: https://activities.esa.int/4000140241

Looks like it's not intended for real applications, but instead to gain some experience. What better way to ensure that you don't ship the prototype than by doing it on hardware that is similar but different enough to ensure that it won't be used in production.

Just a guess though!

I hope they also publish the Lessons Learned report mentioned above, would be an interesting read.
