 The lack of a standard also has some drawbacks. For instance, any tooling that
 wants to work with lock files must choose which format to support, potentially
-leaving users unsupported (e.g., if Dependabot_ chose not to support PDM,
+leaving users unsupported (e.g., Dependabot_ only supporting select tools,
-support by cloud providers who can do dependency installations on your behalf,
+same for cloud providers who can do dependency installations on your behalf,
-etc.).
+etc.). It also impacts portability between tools, which causes vendor lock-in.
+By not having compatibility and interoperability it fractures tooling around
+lock files where both users and tools have to choose what lock file format to
+use upfront and making it costly to use/switch to other formats. Rallying
+around a single format removes that cost/barrier.

+   Much of the motivation from :pep:`665` also applies to this PEP.
