I like the way it looks and the optic mounts seems great being able to fit multiple optics without needing a plate.

Personally, I might get the threaded variant.

Don't we already have that (for rifles at least) with basically every AR, AR derivative, and any other rifle with separate upper and lower receivers?

Kinda of, but if you could SBR a FCU you could swap it between an Ar-15, Ar-10, or put a stock on a handgun. That's absolutely a perk of lower receivers but if it was the FCU that was the firearm instead it could be even more flexible. Currently you can SBR a Ar-15 lower but then you're stuck with just AR compatible parts, with a FCU nothing would stop companies from selling pretty much most types of firearms that accept that FCU.
