Discussion
It looks like Ryobi took a gravity-rise-style miter saw stand, added a flat platform to the bottom support, and a flat workbench top to the tool rails.

The Ryobi Speed Bench might have been inspired by the Ridgid rolling miter saw stand, which is also available at Home Depot.

The Ridgid stand can accommodate a wood board (not included) to create a work station.

There are some differences in the designs, but the resemblances are clear.
That’s not a bad thing, for the Speed Bench to closely resemble a rolling miter saw stand, I just find it interesting.
The Speed Bench construction might be a little different, compared to the Ridgid miter saw stand, and the top support will be different. Other than that, it really looks like Ryobi added a work top and a hand truck platform, and there’s the Speed Bench.
