The value might be in perception more than anything. If the
developer was wary about being trapped with an ISP they hate later,
then something like that might appease them.

Yeahbut you're not plugging the same fiber into multiple OLT's. This
would be a mandate for a central split architecture. If you built
distributed split and didn't include lots of surplus fibers then
you're still basically stuck with one provider. I'd be annoyed if
last mile network design became accidentally enshrined in law.
