Why even bother?

They should just be contributing to a free software distribution if we want it to benefit us.

I mean the core of HarmonyOS is open source already https://www.openharmony.cn/

It's understandable why they want to have control over the full hardware and software stack. You get a lot of benefits from optimizing the software specifically for the hardware you have. This also allows them to make the software leaner avoiding bloat and legacy cruft.
