This is the same language used for press releases, but I think we should tailor the language to this audience. "Why Fleet" should remain as approachable as possible, because this is the starting point to the documentation and we don't want to make it look more difficult.

I see the issue this PR addresses is about updating "Why Fleet" to be in line with MDM messaging. What is the smallest change we can make to this first section that achieves that?
