-There were some users banned using the Divination open beta. The reasons for this were believed to have been avoidable under a closed beta; however, there were some other bits of information about this incident that are kept under lock and key (some of which I helped uncover) that made RiD want to upgrade his systems.
-RiD understands that RS is slowly dying, and wants to offer a system that allows users to bot both RS and other games, without him having to micromanage everything.
-RiD wanted users to have added customization and functionality along with the ability to fix their own run-time errors.
-In regard to biometrics, RiD wanted to be ahead of the game, in the event that Jagex started implementing advanced behavior analysis. This point is less pertinent than the others, but he'd rather kill multiple birds with one stone if he can.
I'm sure there are other reasons I'm forgetting about, but those are the main ones that I can think of. To address your concern of the project never being finished, despite the hiccups we've had in beta thus far, RiD has been updating things pretty frequently and improving functionality at a noticeable rate. Some users are already botting several hours at a time, which for something that has yet to hit v0.20, is quite promising to the expectation that things will meet expected standards. The platform itself will of course always undergo updates and receive additional features and functionality, but I'm confident based on what I've seen and experienced, that it will definitely meet release standards.
