There's a bunch of stuff they've done with making it easier to set up new
accounts, OAuth, etc.  But that doesn't seem to be so useful if you've
already managed to set up K9.

 
OAuth is also supported in K9 Mail - I am using it this way right now.
There is no need to switch to the "Thunderbird" named version of K9 just
for that.

It is because Mozilla added it - they've been developing K-9 for 2 years.
It's to the point of being good enough for the TB branding, but most of the
changes to get there were released in K-9.  To switch branding they have to
make a separate app, but the codebase is the same.

I expect at some point TB will become the main product and K-9 will stop
being developed. I couldn't say when that will happen.
