I do prefer and will continue to use an open source browser, but a proprietary browser can still be private. Orion can be verified to not have telemetry.
Also, they have said it will be open sourced. Its not uncommon for software to be made open source later on when the company is more prepared to handle the work that comes along with that.
What are its benefits? It basically just feels like Safari, unfortunately including the things about Safari I don’t like.
Main thing I noticed is that it has the built in tracker (and I think ad?) blocking. I use AdGuard on Safari, but sometimes it doesn’t work correctly because AdGuard stopped running in the background.
I used Orion previously on MacOS, and it is pretty good there. At least we will have a better alternative to Gnome web.
If you consider a proprietary browser better, then sure.

Chrome + FF extensions (support for both MV2 and MV3 extensions on the Chrome side), PWAs, not being Apple.
Edit: I switched to Fedora on my Mac after an upgrate to Sequoia screwed up.
Safari has PWAs. They call it “Add to Dock”. Works well in my experience.
I’m comparing Orion on Linux and Gnome web here.
