People with nefarious or otherwise unscrupulous intent get their jollies and returns in various ways. That could be anything from such types hoping to get device owner’s naked selfies, to get device owner’s frequent flyer and other account info from their device-stored emails/notes, to get the calendar and travel history/plans of the device owner and thereby plot a home burglary when the device owner is known to most likely be gone, or who knows what else.
