I have yet to see an explanation where people are benefitting daily from
OBP's add features.

If I have SLAs, where I promised my customers an uptime of 99.x %, and
have to pay a penalty, when I don't keep to the SLA, I need the OBP
when a server fails.

If I only have a BIOS, I have to dress, and to drive to the server room
to reset / restart the server. That is extra downtime, which can be
avoided.
Alternatively I have to buy an IP KVM Switch (350 Euro a port) and an
IP remote power switch (50 Euro a port, 100 Euro for redundant power supply).
With OBP, I need a serial console switch (50 Euro a port).
Some server (280R, V240) have OBP over LAN, where I only need a switch port
(16 Euro a port for a Cisco 2950-24).
