Their goals are to _replace GPL's code_. It's a subtle attack on Free Software by providing corporations a workaround so they don't have to abide by the terms of the license.

Nobody seriously doubts the efficiency or safety of the GNU Coreutils. They've been battle tested for over 30 years and whatever safety or optimization risks are left are negligible.
