The point wasn't to port Quake (it already ran on the device), the point was to port the recently open-sourced BCM21553 graphics driver to run on the Pi's VideoCore IV. Getting Quake III running on the resulting stack was just the defined endpoint.

And, once again, who does this satisfy other than the people seeking a cheap XBMC platform?

People who just want a cheap XBMC platform already had the proprietary driver.

This satisfies people who want to be able to read, understand and hack on the video driver.
