SMB1 is mostly used as a fallback as we have SMB2 and 3 now which are more secure and have better security features.

Microsoft decided to remove SMB1 rather than keep updating it after the Wannacry/EternalBlue ransomware/exploit issues which abused it. This broke networking in quite a few products and setups, including Synology file sharing.

Re-enabling SMB1 is a workaround but the ideal situation is the issue forcing Synology and others to make their product work fine without it.
