      All of the hypothetical points would point to them wanting to control the narrative, in my opinion.

        That is probably what is going on. The motive of doing their duty of disclosing intentionally according to a plan makes more sense then “cashing in” or “driven by conscience”. Either of those are likely for isolated individuals but at this scale it’s probably a psyop to prep for an eventual revelation (or something!).
