This would just be another "general good of the internet" service.
RIPE for example run.
Atlas: A cooperative service for internet reachability and measurements. - https://www.ripe.net/analyse/internet-measurements/ripe-atla...
DNSMON: Monitor the root and TLD's and other key internet domains. Does so from many locations so as to test anycast issues. - https://dnsmon.ripe.net/
RIPEStat / BGplay: Debug and examine internet reachability issues. - https://stat.ripe.net/ - https://stat.ripe.net/bgplay
And volunteer resources to help to run other things, like https://www.as112.net/ that sinks all the PTR lookups for RFC1918 that leaks to the internet, among other things.
That doesn't seem too surprising to me and should ensure that the site can be run sustainably without burning out volunteers.
