Genuine question, no snark intended, bc this is interesting... but: Why would someone want to do this? What is the benefit (besides satisfying a technical challenge)?

> Users who want to downgrade or sideload a specific firmware version can do so using Sony's official reinstall process with the correct PUP file. this is not true, you can only upgrade using a PUP not downgrade. Super excited for this, havent been involved since the bd-jb exploit and finally i can use my ps5 the way i want to.
