The firmware allows you to completely bypass the DRM scheme. You can definitely rip HD Blu-rays without it, but 4K UHD Blu-rays have an updated DRM scheme and you can’t (or couldn’t at the time I bought the drive) rip those without modified firmware.
Additionally, the ripping process is quicker with the modified firmware.
