Interesting thought; however I'm not sure what else could motivate them.. Do you have anything particular in mind (even if just pure speculation)?
Well they have to either sell them in a market or use them in a way to have a greater income than outcome. Since I don't believe in the latter, I'd bet that there're people who buy them. Still, at the moment each block gives a tiny amount of coins, but it's too expensive. I can't really speculate anything farer.
I remember I had created this thread back when I had more, similar queries:
