Can't speak for the above, but for me it's a hedge against enshittification and sudden shutdowns. If I had a dollar for every community archive that suddenly went offline, I'd have several dollars.
This is the archive of the Video Game History Foundation. They’re properly setup legally, have overwhelming backing from the industry, and a pristine reputation. They’re basically the Smithsonian, or more accurately the Isabella Stewart Gardner of the video game world.

They’re going nowhere.
