Just safer, not necessarily faster

OpenWRT addresses directly the chip and, yes, it may lag behind for some recent chips, but usually they catch up over time.
Moreover, I trust more the OpenWRT team when it comes to writing code. Router companies may advertise x or y, but the reality is often different.
In addition to that, OpenWRT allows you to bypass the limits set by the manufacturer (e.g. actual power of the chip in dB / W, security options, ...).
And, maybe not all but some routers have some "convenient" features that share some of your bandwidth with "special" functions that usually you don't care about.
Then, sure it's not pure speed but the fact that you can ssh the router and install tons of modules is so convenient...

Submission + - Injured US Airman in Iran Used Boeing Device to Signal Rescuers

hcs_$reboot writes: A downed U.S. Air Force weapons officer survived nearly two days behind enemy lines in Iran by using a standard-issue Boeing-built survival radio/beacon to quietly transmit his location to rescuers.
The device, part of the military’s Combat Survivor Evader Locator (CSEL) system, sent encrypted signals to aircraft and satellites, enabling U.S. forces to track him despite injuries and active Iranian search efforts.
His signals helped coordinate a massive, high-risk rescue operation involving dozens of aircraft, special forces, and deception tactics, ultimately extracting him without U.S. casualties.
