Mainly developer efficiency. There will be fewer test suite problems due to excess precision (a bunch of packages carry patches which introduce -ffloat-store on i686 to work around them). Packagers will not have to figure out a way how to build for compatibility with non-SSE2 systems (which some upstreams do not support anymore).
Furthermore, the divergence from downstream is troubling to Red Hatters for various reasons. (Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 already underwent a similar change.)
