TLDR; basically you can now use .internal for local/intranet and it will not resolve externally. I wish they would pick something shorter but this is better than nothing.

Unless I read it incorrectly it has something to do with how .local is already used with stuff like mDNS and zero-config networking.

Maybe its just that people are stupid so having .internal will tell you that it is a "internal domain only" very easily? I know plenty of companies that use different domains for internal/external but they are still using a publicly routed TLD for one reason or another.
