Contrarian take: if the deep state/intelligence/whoever finally decides that Trump is more trouble than he's worth, this would be a good way to get rid of him. If the files were just leaked randomly, sure, not much would come of it, like so many other leaks. But as an organized limited hangout, with a lot of media support, they could selectively bring down Trump and a few other inconvenient people this way, and then consider the issue resolved. I mean if the whole point was blackmail, presumably they've had contingency plans along those lines for a long time.
Just one possibility, but feasible I think.
