It's complex, it requires some regex magic, but I don't understand why
you set uname as an example. I find these more useful:

OpenWRT:

cat /etc/openwrt_release + some regex magic
cat /etc/openwrt_version

AirOS:

cat /etc/version (major release)
cat /lib/version (build number string)

Sorry, I don't know regex enough to extract the versioning but it should
be trivial for someone who knows his/her way.

As for the usefulness, I agree with what Clauz said, I believe It's
compelling enough as a use case.
It also makes easier to identify which devices needs updating should a
major security vulnerability arise.
