Boru

What was his motive/rationale for doing this?

Is it similar to the reason for changing some English words like "colour" to "color"?

to bring consistency and simplicity to spelling in the english language.  i recommend John McWhorter’s Our Magnificent Bastard language for a popular account of how english came ti be the mess it is, by a professional linguist with a focus on formation and evolution of spoken and written languages.
