Nothing!

Architecture has got nothing to do with the end-user.

Developer advantages/disadvantages of architectures affect the software and can therefore flow onto the end-user. Software/service downtime/responsiveness/capabilities.

You have messed up if the user even gets to know about the layers... we have layers/tiers only for abstraction and separation of concerns

The only benefit that reaches the user is that new features and bug fixes are completed more quickly, assuming the architecture is actually done correctly. The end user will not, however, care why or how.

A good architecture also makes software less buggy.
