Pure conjecture. You weren't there when Cambio Corsa was released to market, and nor was I.

So what are the benefits then? Please put your answer into a relevant context for someone who isn't racing at a professional level.

I'm not so concerned with the actual gear change itself, because indexed shifters have long since removed the need for any skill to change gears. I'm more concerned with maintenance and the ability to fix things if they break. Even if Shimano RDs are made to be replaced rather than repaired, you can usually 'Macguyver' them into working sufficiently well enough.
Adding electronics removes this ability for me in exchange for benefits that I can't see. 10ths of a second make no difference to me.
Of course, this might all change once I've ridden it, but that won't be for a long time.
