Why did the USSR change the native scripts of some minority languages? (lemmygrad.ml)

For example Azeris, Turkmens, Tajiks transitioning from the Arabic script, and Buryats from the Mongol script.

And why wasn't there a cyrillisation of Georgian and Armenian?

To me the script changes seemed unnecessary, but I'm curious what you think

I don't believe that the Arabic script is hard to learn. I was able to read pretty much anything written in Arabic by second grade. The West Bank and the Gaza Strip had higher literacy than some Western nations despite the occupation and lack of resources.
