The ability to reset a service indicator light after an oil change on a vehicle touted as having a full service manual available to all owners, for a start. I suspect they'll feature-gate a lot of the 'new' improvements in these bespoke versions a year prior to wider release. I'm just wildly guessing at this point, and there's no more value in my opinion of the money play here than anyone else's, but the wording just seems to indicate these "Arcane works" editions are where all the "new" will exist until it trickles down, even if the "new" is just basic functionality on most other vehicles on the road. They know they have a somewhat captive market and they're capitalizing monetarily on it.
I understand it from a business perspective, but where it really galls me (and I see others, as well), there are significant issues with the base model functionality right now. This feels like a slap in the face for every owner of a Grenadier who would love for their hands free call quality to be "acceptable", let alone good, for example. The service indicator light, the ADAS issues, the glare-ridden display, the slow responsiveness on said unit. Mechanical improvements like swaybar disconnects, more underbody armor, water intrusion correction, footwell space correction for RHD, etc - I suspect those will all fall into the "Arcane" realm before they hit the rest of the population who took a huge gamble on a brand new company, based on their promises.
There's no way they can argue the resources invested into this somehow benefit the general owner, when they haven't sorted out the fundamental issues plaguing owners that exist today, to whom they've made multiple promises they have yet to deliver on.
