Remember how tons of developers got surprised when Google got the .dev TLD, because they were using domains they didn't own to develop software? Well, now .internal has been reserved so developers and companies can safely use .internal domains without that happening to them.

.local being used for mDNS while Microsoft were using it in AD examples/documentation is another good example.

.internal is just admitting there's only so many times we can repeat the same mistake before we start to look silly.

Our internal domain is still .local and has been since Microsoft recomended we do it that way 15 years ago.
